Talbott Recovery Campus' (TRC) Young Adult Program provides comprehensive treatment of addiction (alcoholism and 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 Campus Young Adult Program was designed to address that difficulty. Our young adults (men and women who are approximately 18 to 26 years old) have a deftly crafted program of their own at TRC. The program uses special groups and therapeutic techniques to address the challenges of this age.

TRC accepts patients with a dual-diagnosis, such as addiction with a concomitant depression, unresolved grief, personality problems, etc. All of our patients have a chemical abuse problem, but we address the whole patient in his/her disease. We screen the health status of all potential patients to make sure we are the proper facility for care. This usually involves a review of any medical history and records by a member of the medical staff at TRC, and an intake screening assessment with our intake department.

Please call the TRC Intake Department (800.445.4232) and speak with one of our specialists who will assist you to get the best utilization of any available insurance benefits.

We stage the intensity of treatment based upon the levels described by the American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria, Version II, Revised.

Detoxification & Stabilization
Inpatient stabilization is available for patients requiring a more complicated detoxification and/or behavioral containment to interrupt the downhill spiral of his/her addiction.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP with boarding)
Following admission or transfer from detox and stabilization, each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation if he/she has not obtained an evaluation previously. The evaluation assesses the patient's physical, psychiatric, psychological, social, spiritual, and family needs to determine the most appropriate level of care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP with boarding)
After completing the partial hospitalization phase of treatment, patients are transitioned to TRC's Mirror Image phase (see Treatment Elements). Extended Mirror Image may be recommended for patients when indicated.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Talbott Recover Campus (TRC) offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for TRC patients who have completed our Young Adult Program. Young adult IOP patients live at home or at a TRC approved ¾ house facility and attend treatment Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM. TRC will also consider offering Intensive Outpatient treatment services to young adult patients who have completed treatment at other treatment facilities on a case-by-case basis.

A patient's length of stay will be determined by the patient's treatment requirements and the patient's progress through treatment. The minimum length of stay in the primary phase of treatment in the Young Adult Program is 12 weeks.

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 TRC 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, the Young Adult Program offers an integrated continuum of care for individuals with addictive or dual diagnosis disorders. TRC'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, TRC's 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 TRC's 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 addiction and learn 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 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 treatment at TRC, young adults are more prepared to face life's challenges substance free.
