While many facilities solely treat adults, substance use and mental health issues among teens and adolescents are common. At Vertava Health, some of our locations are young adult treatment centers as well as facilities for adults. We want to help the adolescent population move past their behavioral health conditions and get back on track for a brighter future. For more information about our treatment programs, contact Vertava Health tonight at 844.470.0410.
Adolescent and Teen Mental Health Treatment
Half of all mental health conditions begin by age 14, but many are left untreated for several years or sometimes even forever. At Vertava Health, some of our locations offer virtual and onsite outpatient mental health treatment for young adults to help those struggling with mental health issues in adolescence find the care they need sooner rather than later.
An outpatient program help teens and adolescents get help for their mental health without being removed entirely from their regular lives. Instead of living onsite at a mental health treatment facility for young adults, they will participate in traditional therapy while still going to school or continuing working.
In order to help patients receive the most effective mental health care, treatment plans are customized to each patient’s specific needs. For some teens and young adults, this may mean programming that focuses on issues such as bullying, academic stress, or the negative effects of social media.
Young adults will gain self-awareness by working one-on-one and in groups with a licensed therapist. They will also get a better understanding of their condition. With this insight, they will be able to work toward managing and reducing their symptoms so they can lead happier and healthier lives.
Substance Use Treatment for Young Adults
Drinking and experimenting with drugs are common practices among the adolescent population. Many students will have tried alcohol or experimented with an illicit substance by their senior year of high school. This substance use may be worse among college students as binge drinking occurs frequently, and drug experimentation continues.
When these practices go beyond casual use, the consequences can be dangerous. Addiction can potentially destroy a person’s future, but treatment and rehabs for teens and young adults can help this group regain control of their lives.
At Vertava Health, some of our locations offer outpatient recovery programs for young adults. These programs are designed to help those who recently completed treatment at a teen drug rehab or those looking for more flexible care options to begin their journey to recovery. The benefit to this type of adolescent treatment program is that patients can fit drug or alcohol treatment into their already busy schedules and maintain their job or continue to go to school.
During their time in our young adult treatment program, patients will learn more about the root causes of their addiction as well as how to better cope with stressors and triggers moving forward.
Because young adults face unique challenges and everyone is different, treatment is tailored to the individual and will focus on issues particular to the patient’s life, such as peer pressure or the triggering environment of a college campus. Under the guidance of licensed and caring professionals, young adults can build a strong foundation in recovery that promotes lifelong sobriety.
