Men & Eating Disorders...Self Image Issues - Men

Eating disorders are not typically associated with men in our society, but we have encountered several men in our program over the years struggling with body image issues, binge eating issues, and excessive exercising issues.

In more severe cases, we have encountered men with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other forms of eating disorders as well as men who use steroids. We have found that addressing issues with food and body image, along with balanced nutrition, can be crucial to a healthy recovery.

Prescott House addresses these issues for men with our " Eating Disorders Program "...read more.

Men Who are Struggling with Addiction and Relapse

Sometimes 30 days in addiction treatment is just not enough. It takes time to change old behavior, and it is extremely helpful to be immersed in the recovery lifestyle for real change to occur.

Prescott House is a long term addiction treatment recovery center that is perfect for those who have already been to primary residential treatment, but are still struggling to maintain sobriety.

Please call us today for more information.

Prescott House Addiction Treatment & Extended Care Rehab Program for Men Only

The primary component of the program is the group therapy experience. Clients participate in at least 12 structured therapy groups each week as well as working individually with a primary therapist. Another piece of our program is volunteer service work in the local community until a client is therapeutically ready to get a part time job or take classes at one of our three local colleges. Also, clients are given written assignments that will facilitate an experience in process groups, including personal inventories of past behavior. The clients work together as a therapeutic community to confront unhealthy behavior while providing each other with the primary support group they will need in early recovery.

At Prescott House clients are given a safe environment that will facilitate the process of confronting their self-destructive behaviors while nurturing their personal and emotional growth in recovery. Our program is based primarily on process oriented experiential group therapy. 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.

Prescott House is a unique community that models and educates clients on healthy and supportive interpersonal skills that must be used to foster a new lifestyle in recovery. Clearly the old life style was not working, and changing everything is a frightening and extensive process that we believe takes several months to begin.

Since 1988 Prescott House has helped men who have been in and out of other treatment centers get and stay sober


Established in 1988, Prescott House has earned a reputation for success. We have grown and expanded our services while retaining the experienced staff and the commitment to quality that increases the possibility of a sober and healthy life. At Prescott House, we believe in recovery of the spirit, the mind and the body.

"I have been in 12-Step recovery for 11 years. The one issue that 12-Step never reached for me was my abandonment issues and all the feelings and shaming messages that go with it. Here at the Prescott House, through intense therapy, I have finally learned how to ask for what I need, confront my fears and walk through life with my head up." — Mike

Since 1988 Prescott House has been helping men recover

We offer a supportive environment that embraces the principles of 12-Step programs to treat alcoholism and other drug addictions.
Since 1988 Prescott House has served the recovery community as an extension of primary treatment that offers individuals the time and intensive environment to change and heal. We have found through experience, and nationally recognized research shows, that long term recovery is dependent on long term treatment in a nurturing and intensive therapeutic environment. The primary component of the program is the group therapy experience. Clients participate in at least 12 structured therapy groups each week as well as working individually with a primary therapist.

Prescott House Drug Rehab Extended Care for Men Center | Self Esteem Workshop

Prescott House Drug Rehab Extended Care for Men Center Self Esteem Workshop: "Each of us hides behind illusions created from our need to protect past wounds. This weekend workshop is designed to create a safe place to explore that old pain and resolve some of the issues of our past. It allows the client to expose the vulnerability that has been concealed by dysfunctional behaviors.

Using a variety of models the therapists provide the client an opportunity to address those wounds through mask building, gestalt therapy, artwork and psychodrama. Each participant will see how post traumatic stress may have set up these destructive behaviors. This is an intensive experiential workshop created for those clients ready for deep inner work.

'I'd been in and out of primary treatment centers and 12-Step groups for 16 years. I couldn't stay sober until I went to Prescott House, followed their suggestions and dealt with my issues.
Today, life is good.' — Tom"
