Addressing the Specific Behavioral Health Needs of Men looks at how gender-specific treatment strategies can improve outcomes for men. The physical, psychological, social, and spiritual effects of substance use and abuse on men can be quite different from the effects on women, and those differences have implications for treatment in behavioral health settings. This course addresses these distinctions. It provides practical information based on available evidence and clinical experience that can help counselors more effectively treat men with substance use disorders. (SAMHSA, 2013).
