Young Adult Addiction Programs

Talbott Recovery's Young Adult Addiction Program provides comprehensive treatment of addiction (alcoholism, other drug use disorders and other addictive disorders) and its attendant related medical, psychological, psychiatric, spiritual and work-related problems. It is generally agreed that young adults who suffer from addiction have more difficulty achieving sobriety than their adult counterparts. The Talbott Recovery Young Adult Addiction Program was designed to address that difficulty. Talbott Recovery offers substance abuse programs specifically treating addiction in young people (men and women who are approximately 18 to 26 years old). Our therapy focusing on substance abuse in young adults uses special groups and therapeutic techniques to address the challenges of this age.

Substance Abuse in Young Adults - Treatment Issues

Recent studies indicate that young adults with addictive disorders are seldom addicted to just one substance or behavior. They are experiencing significant life changes, and are subject to high levels of peer pressure. At Talbott Recovery we understand the importance of flexibility in meeting the therapeutic needs of our young adult population as they are learning to navigate their constantly changing social environment.

To prepare patients to meet these challenges, our young adult addiction program offers an integrated continuum of care for individuals with addictive or dual diagnosis disorders. Talbott Recovery's approach to treating addictive disease and its accompanying emotional and physical problems is both comprehensive and individualized. Patients and their families participate in psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic groups designed to help them explore addiction and dual disorders as well as the impact these diseases can have on the family.

After thirty years of treating chemically dependent patients, Talbott Recovery' treatment philosophy is built around our belief that addiction is a primary drive that must be managed through education, cognitive restructuring and emotive therapies. While living in Talbott Recovery' structured environment, patients begin to experience a life free from active addiction. As patients move through progressive levels of care, each comprising a broad spectrum of specialty groups and services, they also actively participate in 12-Step recovery programs. Each of these elements helps the patient unearth the issues that drive his/her substance abuse and/ or addiction, allowing him/her to learn more on how to halt the addictive response.

It is essential to recovery for patients to identify the underlying issues that tend to drive the disease of substance abuse and/or addiction. As young adults begin to recover from the shame that surrounds their illness, they can learn how to relate to self and others. This process gives patients an opportunity to develop healthy coping mechanisms and socialization skills necessary to maintain abstinence. Upon completion of our young adult addiction programs at Talbott Recovery, patients are more prepared to face life's challenges substance free.

Length of Stay at Talbott Recovery

A patient's length of stay for our young adult addiction programs will be determined by the patient's treatment requirements and the patient's progress through substance abuse treatment. The minimum length of stay in the primary phase of treatment in the Young Adult Program is generally 90 days.
