How to Recognize Addiction in Young Adults

If you’re a parent or loved one of a teenager or young adult who you suspect may be suffering from the disease of addiction, you’re not alone. Addiction among those 18 to 25 continues to increase each year, with alcohol and narcotics taking center stage. In most instances, alcoholism and drug addiction are progressive diseases that will only worsen if left untreated.

As a family member or friend of a young adult dealing with addiction issues, you may doubt yourself and wonder if he or she needs professional and addiction therapy for young adults. As you know, their addiction issues not only affect them, but everyone around them as well.

Talbott Recovery Campus offers specialized treatment for substance abuse in young adults. Here, we treat the whole patient, whether they are dealing with alcoholism, drug abuse or dual diagnosis, such as an addiction compounded with depression, unresolved grief, personality disorders, and more. Our high quality treatment includes an in-depth review of the patient’s medical history and records; detoxification and stabilization; Partial Hospitalization Program; and an Intensive Outpatient Program.

If you’re wondering if it’s time to seek help, contact us today for answers. We can help you recognize the warning signs of substance abuse in young adults, which may include:
