Most Common Causes of Addiction in Men

There are several common causes and contributing factors that can lead to addiction in men. It’s important to note that addiction is a complex issue, and these factors can vary from person to person.

Below are seven common causes often associated with addiction in men:

Biological Factors

Men may have a higher predisposition to certain types of addiction due to biological factors. Genetic factors, brain chemistry, and hormonal differences can all play a role in increasing the vulnerability to addiction.

Social Pressure and Peer Influence

Men, like women, can be influenced by peer pressure, social norms, and the desire to fit in or be accepted within their social circles. The influence of friends, colleagues, or family members who engage in substance abuse can significantly impact a man’s likelihood of developing an addiction.

Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders

Men who struggle with underlying mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may turn to substances as a way to self-medicate and alleviate their symptoms. This self-medication can quickly spiral into addiction.

Stress and Trauma

Men often face unique stressors in their lives, such as work pressures, financial responsibilities, relationship challenges, and societal expectations. Traumatic experiences, such as physical or emotional abuse, combat exposure, or accidents, can also contribute to the development of addiction as a means of coping with or escaping from distressing emotions.

Cultural and Societal Factors

Cultural and societal norms can influence men’s behavior and attitudes toward substance use. In some cultures, there may be a higher tolerance or acceptance of substance abuse, which can normalize addictive behaviors. The portrayal of substance use in media and popular culture can also influence perceptions and contribute to the development of addiction.

Accessibility and Availability

Easy access to addictive substances, such as alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs, can increase the risk of developing an addiction. Men who work in industries or environments where substances are readily available, such as the food and beverage industry or certain professions, may be particularly vulnerable.

Traumatic Life Events

Traumatic experiences, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, job loss, or accidents, can significantly impact a person’s emotional well-being. Men may turn to substances as a way to cope with grief, pain, or overwhelming emotions associated with these traumatic events.

It’s important to remember that these factors do not guarantee that an individual will develop an addiction. Each person’s journey is unique, and multiple factors often interact in complex ways to contribute to addiction. Understanding these common causes can help inform prevention efforts, early intervention, and the development of effective treatment strategies for men struggling with addiction.

Long-Term Treatment vs. Short Term Men’s Rehab Treatment

In the past, 30-day treatment programs were the accepted norm for inpatient substance abuse treatment. In fact, a number of treatment programs weren’t even necessarily inpatient treatment options, but simply short-term “detox” facilities. After detox, it wasn’t at all uncommon for people to go directly back to their toxic environments and maybe attend some local outpatient services for minimal support. As advances in psychotherapy and addiction science are made, evidence-based research has exposed the ineffectiveness of short-term programs for many addicted persons, or individuals struggling with substance use disorder.

Many short-term programs leave little time to address anything other than the detox, or withdrawal, part of the addiction. With addicted individuals struggling to make it through the initial weeks of sobriety, therapy sessions and wisdom imparted during these programs are not often well retained, as the mind is at a very fragile stage of its healing. Extended care treatment allows not only for brain healing and functioning to return, but also provides for the therapeutic opportunity to work with a mind cleared of addiction thought processes.

Addressing Underlying Issues or Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorder – often referred to as Dual-Diagnosis – is the term used to describe an addicted person (whether sex, alcohol, drugs, gambling, or other) who has an additional mental health condition that often plays a key role in their addiction. Often, addiction is merely a symptom of a deeper disorder, such as mental illness. Depression is a common co-occurring disorder for the addicted person and until the underlying mental illness is addressed, the chances for long-term recovery are greatly diminished.

Reducing the Risk of Relapse

By lengthening the stay at a treatment facility individuals are able to commit to healing and developing the tools to continue their successful new life. Research from the Principles of Drug Addiction and Treatment Guide by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, indicates that most individuals diagnosed with a substance use disorder, or co-occurring disorder, need at least three consecutive months of treatment in order to significantly reduce or stop the unwanted behavior – in this case, addiction.

Group Therapy Experience

A primary focus of the program is our group therapy experience. Individuals participate in numerous structured therapy groups each week as well as working individually with a primary therapist. Promoting personal growth through our program, volunteer & service work in the local community enables individuals to therapeutically prepare themselves to get a part-time job or enroll in classes at one of our three local colleges. These schools are great for those who wish to further their education or complete thier GED program to be more prepared for the workplace.

Individuals are given written assignments that will facilitate an experience in process groups, including personal inventories of past behavior. Working together as a community, men begin to confront their unhealthy behaviors while providing each other with the support group they vitally need during the early stages of recovery.

Prescott House individuals are provided a safe environment to confront their self-destructive behaviors while nurturing their personal and emotional growth during treatment. Much of the work done here centers around cognitive behavioral restructuring. The intensive and highly structured environment allows staff the opportunity to look at the whole person and treat the causes of self-destructive behavior and not simply the symptoms.

Developed around a unique community that model, educating these men with healthy and supportive interpersonal skills fosters an entirely new lifestyle throughout recovery. It becomes clear to individuals that their old lifestyle was not working, and while changing their entire thought process can be frightening at first, the extensive process starts to sink in, sometimes taking several months to realize.

Support System

The Prescott House provides a safe environment that teaches accountability while ensuring that our recovering clients attend both individual and group therapy sessions, become involved in a 12-step program that includes working with a sponsor from the local community and learning key life skills and strategies to aid in long-term sobriety. At the Prescott House, our male-only extended care facility believes in the power of long-term care when it comes to recovery and ongoing sobriety. We are a safe place for members of the LGBTQ community and help men of all sexual preferences to grow into productive members of society.

Rebuilding Boundaries

When dealing with addiction, the bonds between the addicted person and his friends, family, and loved ones are often strained. Our daily therapy sessions help to repair these bonds and rebuild relationships by providing a safe place for the client to work on healthy boundaries. Clients will experience a family session to further strengthen boundaries and develop effective communication techniques between family members. Studies show that family issues are amongst the most dangerous to recovering individuals and are often a leading cause of relapse. By participating in these family therapy sessions the client, as well as his family and loved ones, learn healthy ways to resolve conflict, deal with past issues, use healthy boundaries, and communicate effectively with friends and loved ones.

The Emphasis on Personal Development

Physical health, personal responsibility, spiritual development, nutrition consultations, interpersonal relationship skills and boundary development are also part of the program. A special emphasis is placed on Nutritional Wellness.

An assessment will be done to help determine if each client has any potential eating wellness issues. Peripheral programs that are available in appropriate cases include neuropsychological testing and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy done with experienced local professionals.
