Program Highlights

Caron's transformational program for young adults ages 16 to 20 is tailored to treat substance use disorder and deal with the unique psychosocial challenges they face.

Significant brain, emotional, and social development occurs during adolescence and young adulthood. Research has found that the human brain continues to mature into the early to mid-20s, particularly in areas related to impulse control, decision-making, and emotional regulation.


The Young Adult Program's experienced clinicians provide specialized therapeutic support that helps young adults build a sustainable recovery. With early intervention, they are more likely to have better outcomes in behavioral health, academic attainment, and employment stability.

Our comprehensive neurocognitive approach integrates advanced technologies targeting the brain alongside traditional, evidence-based therapy modalities, capitalizing on neuroplasticity to rewire the brain, optimize function, and advance the body’s natural healing ability—creating a foundation for self-regulation and resilience.
