Young adult treatment centers are focused primarily on the treatment needs of individuals aged 18 to 30. This type of treatment center is usually staffed with medical and psychological professionals who specialize in the behavior and substance use of young adults. Young adult treatment centers seek to stabilize their patients and give them the necessary tools to maintain long term recovery and sobriety.
Young adult treatment centers provide treatment and care for individuals who have issues with many different types of substances. The substance use that young adults are most commonly treated for include:
- Alcohol
- Prescription drugs
- Cocaine
- Inhalants
- Marijuana
- Heroin
- MDMA
- Hallucinogens
Each treatment center works with patients on a case by case basis. Each patient is unique, thus, the treatment they receive is unique and tailored to fit their needs. Young adult treatment centers focus on the provision of unique therapies that are developed specifically for individuals in their late teen years and twenties.
Types of Treatment for Young Adults
Treatment for young adults may take place in multiple settings. The length of the program and the type of treatment needed is usually dependent on the type of drug use and the level of use. Inpatient treatment programs for young adults are more intensive than outpatient programs. Inpatient programs provide around the clock care. Inpatient programs also offer different lengths of stay, which is often dependent on the severity of substance use. The most common lengths of stay offer 30 days, 60 days, and 90-day treatment. After a patient enters an inpatient program, they receive a comprehensive assessment and evaluation in order to develop a unique treatment plan. After going through an assessment, patients will go through detox. After completing detox, patients begin group therapy, individual therapy, and specific treatments that are within the treatment plan. Individuals who have less severe dependency may only need to attend treatment for 30 days, while more severe cases of dependency may require 60 to 90 days of treatment. Keep in mind that some individuals begin with 30 days of treatment and decide to stay for 60 days in order to continue treatment.
There are also sober living homes for young adults who have completed treatment programs. Sober living homes allow individuals to readjust to life outside of treatment. Sober living homes are a safe and supportive place to stay while recovering from substance dependency. They allow individuals to get into a routine after completing inpatient therapy. They are able to have a network of peers living with them that provide support in their recovery. Sober living homes typically have mandatory meetings, curfews, and require their residents to hold down a regular job. After individuals are stable and feel as though they can enter the world and maintain sobriety, they are able to leave sober living and move out on their own.If you would like more information regarding treatment for young adults, call us today at 833-846-5669.
