The statistics on alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse for men in the United States are sobering, indeed. Though it is estimated that about 14 million Americans, or 1 of every 13 adults are alcoholics, men are four times more likely than women to be heavy drinkers and about twice as likely to develop alcoholism. This means that the negative health effects associated with alcoholism and alcohol abuse occur in men more often than women and more quickly, making alcohol rehab an imperative in men diagnosed with alcohol addiction and abuse.

At Michael’s House, we offer an alcohol rehab program for men and women. Located in Palm Springs, California, we provide a luxury alcohol addiction treatment and detox program.

The Need for Alcoholism Treatment

Because alcoholism is more prevalent among men than women, the need for alcohol rehab and treatment is more extreme as well. Physical addiction to alcohol is more common among men as well, which in turn, increases the need for alcohol detox and/ or alcohol rehab programs that offer detox services.

Without the appropriate medical treatment, therapy and continued counseling, alcoholic men will continue to be at risk for numerous health effects, including cirrhosis of the liver and liver failure, kidney failure, malnutrition, Korsakoff’s syndrome, sexual issues including erectile dysfunction, Wernicke’s disease, a higher risk of cancer, inflammation and diabetes. Of course, as long as alcoholic men continue to drink, their risk of death due to accident is a threat. Additionally, the risk to others of death due to drunk driving or other negligent behavior is a significant and constant issue that will only go away when the alcoholic gets the help he needs via alcohol rehab and addiction treatment.

Why Alcoholism Affects Men Differently

From the physical effects of the drug to the psychological cravings, alcohol affects men differently than it does women.

While, on average, women more quickly get drunk and more quickly develop an addiction with regular use of alcohol, men are more apt to turn to drinking to escape a stressful situation rather than handle an emotional issue. Additionally, it is seen as more socially acceptable for men to drink regularly and to overindulge, so there the same reluctance to drink often and to drink publicly isn’t seen as often among men as it is among women. For all these reasons and more, men are more prone to alcoholism and make up a larger portion of the people who seek alcohol rehab.
