Men's Only Rehab Treatment For Addictions

Why choose a men's-only rehab to treat your addictions?

All rehab treatments are based off of success rates -- that is why they are called treatments rather than cures. Certain treatment programs have higher rates of success than others. 12 step programs -- for instance -- have higher success rates than programs that do not use the 12 step method. The same is true with a men's only rehab -- men attending these types of rehabs, typically show greater rates of successfully cleaning-out from the substances they were abusing, and staying sober afterward.

This being said, why wouldn't you -- as a male -- choose to enter a men's only rehab rather than a coed rehab?

The Truth Behind Magic Mushrooms

I remember the first time I heard of magic mushrooms. I was 15 or 16 years old and I was attending an AA meeting with a youth group I was a part of. I already felt awkward because I didn't drink and I was there. It felt like I was in some type of secret club I shouldn't be privy to. On this particular day I was bored and silently wishing I was somewhere else.

The person heading the group decided to go around the room and ask everyone what their drug of choice was and this girl said that magic mushrooms were her thing. I was a little confused by this, so when I left the center I decided to a little research. I was shocked with what I found.

Basically these mushrooms look similar to those you see in any clearing in the forest. They contain psychoactive indole alkaloids, which cause the user to hallucinate when they are consumed. They go back as far as ancient times when they were used in several rituals, but these days most people that use them do it for recreational purposes.

Typically people consume these mushrooms and experience a "trip" that lasts for several hours. The more often they use them, the more likely they are to experience no effects at all. This is because the body builds a tolerance to them. People who have used this drug have experienced hallucinations, paranoia and an increased sense of fear.

After reading all of this information, I knew that this is not something I would ever want to experience. While it may seem fun at first glance, the reality is that it is an illegal drug that can damage your system and being caught with any can land you behind bars.
