Young Adults (people ages 18 to 24) face unique challenges when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction. Substance use is often dismissed as “experimentation” in this “college-age” group. However, people in this phase of life can be especially susceptible to addiction.
Because young adults’ physiology is still developing, they are affected differently by drugs and alcohol than more mature adults. Substance Abuse rates have been steadily increasing among this population, especially for highly addictive drugs like prescription opioids, anti-anxiety medications like Xanax, and prescription stimulants like Adderall.
We developed a Young Adult Rehab Program because we recognize the unique experiences that come with addiction during this age.
Addiction takes many forms across many different demographics. Substance Abuse may be overlooked in young adults because they may not have the same reasons to get sober as older people. Because many Young Adults are not as well established as older adults, they may not have the same consequences for their substance abuse.
New Method Wellness is a premier dual diagnosis addiction treatment center dually accredited by The Joint Commission. It has been singled out as one of the best drug and alcohol rehab centers in America, offering a unique 3:1 staff-to-client ratio that pairs every client with two therapists instead of one.
At New Method Wellness, we add another dimension to dual diagnosis treatment, and that is the integration of holistic therapy, such as massage/acupuncture therapy, equine therapy, and art therapy. As addiction therapists and substance abuse counselors work with clients to treat the substance use disorder and the co-occurring illness associated with it, holistic therapy adds meaning to life after treatment and sustains long-term recovery. Our 3:1 staff-to-client ratio ensures client success after treatment, as evidenced by our Extended Aftercare program.
