At Inner Voyage Recovery, we offer a young adult rehab program for young individuals to find the space needed to heal, develop new coping skills and create a foundation for a successful life ahead.
According to the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health 20.3% of young adults aged 18-25 reported using illicit drugs in the past month and approximately 14.5% of young adults in this age group met the criteria for a substance use disorder.
Substance abuse and addiction can affect individuals at any age, but young adults are particularly vulnerable due to the various stressors and developmental changes they face. Addressing the unique needs of this age group is crucial in helping them successfully navigate their recovery journey.
What is Rehab for Young Adults?
Rehab for young adults is a specialized addiction treatment program tailored to individuals between the ages of 18 and 25. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges young adults face, including peer pressure, academic stress, and emerging mental health issues. Rehab for young adults provides an age-appropriate environment and treatment plans that focus on building life skills, resilience, and a strong support network to achieve lasting recovery.
Barriers That Prevent Young Adults from Seeking Help
There are several barriers young adults face when considering addiction treatment, including:
- Stigma: Many young people are hesitant to seek help due to the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health issues.
- Lack of awareness: Some young adults may not recognize their substance use as problematic or may be unsure of the available treatment options.
- Financial constraints: The cost of rehab can be a significant barrier for young people who may not have the resources or insurance coverage to access treatment.
- Fear of missing out: Young adults may worry about missing out on social, academic, or professional opportunities while in addiction treatment.
How Does Rehab for Young Adults Work?
Rehab programs for young adults typically involve a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and various complementary therapies. Treatment plans are personalized to address each individual’s specific needs and may include:
- Detoxification: The process of removing harmful substances from the body under medical supervision. At Inner Voyage, we do not have an in-house detox, but work with multiple in the area.
- Behavioral therapy: This can include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or motivational interviewing (MI) to help young adults recognize and change maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors.
- Life skills training: Teaching essential skills such as stress management, communication, and problem-solving, job interview skills, resume building, and more.
- Relapse prevention: Strategies to help identify and manage triggers and high-risk situations.
- Aftercare planning: Developing a plan for continued support and resources following the completion of the rehab program.
Types of Rehab Programs for Young Adults
At Inner Voyage Recovery, we meet our client’s where they’re at. We offer a multiple different levels of care and evidence-based treatment to support clients through each, including:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): A PHP is a structured, day treatment program that provides intensive therapy and support while allowing participants to return home at night. This is a suitable option for young adults who require a higher level of care but do not need round-the-clock supervision.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): IOPs offer a flexible, part-time treatment schedule that enables young adults to attend school or work while receiving therapy and support. IOPs typically involve group therapy sessions, individual counseling, and family therapy.
- Adventure Therapy: If you’re not having fun in recovery, you’re not doing it right. Our innovative treatment approach incorporates outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, and ropes courses to promote personal growth, develop coping skills, and build self-esteem for our young adults.
