Highlights of the Young Adult Program
Caron is a well-known expert in treating young adults and their families for addiction and related mental health issues. Whether it is a patient’s first time in treatment or they’ve tried another program, we’re here to support them and their family until they’re whole again. Our treatment plans include families and are designed to uncover the root causes of behaviors and the best approach for treating them.
Clinical excellence and uncompromising patient-centric care are the cornerstones of Caron’s core programming, which includes the Young Adults Program located on our Pennsylvania campus. With more than 65 years of treating substance use disorder and process addictions, Caron emphasizes Recovery for Life, providing the young adults we treat with lifetime support. We view substance use disorder as a chronic treatable brain disease that requires a long-term management plan.
Specialized Treatment for Young Adults
While the most common issues we deal with are substance use with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and depression, our team of medical and mental health professionals can also help a young adult with these co-occurring conditions and behaviors:
- Anger issues
- Body image issues
- Interpersonal conflict or peer relationship challenges
- Family conflict/problems
- Mood disorders
- Self-esteem/self-worth
- Self-injurious behaviors
- Sexual issues
Gender-Specific Programs
-
For Young Men
The need to establish their own identity creates both problems and opportunities. Caron’s specialized treatment teams are prepared to help young men as they seek to find ways to develop a healthy masculine image.
-
For Young Women
Many young women struggling with a substance use disorder have an elevated need for connection. Being in a gender-specific program allows relationships to grow, risks to be taken, and therapeutic work to take place. In having a safe and private space in which they can share their stories honestly and openly with their peers, young women can begin to create a way forward to long-term health and healing.
