This is Where I Change My Story
Helping young adults 18-26 address emotional trauma, addiction, and mood disorders
Treatment Exclusively for Young Adults
The transition to adulthood can become derailed by a number of factors. Young adults often find themselves feeling “in-between.” They’ve moved past adolescence and are eager for independence, but underlying issues can leave them stuck. The Claudia Black Young Adult Center offers groundbreaking inpatient treatment for those between the ages of 18-26 who are struggling with emotional trauma, addiction, or mental health issues like depression, ADHD, or anxiety. Our program features gender-specific groups, experiential treatment methods, and peer support — all targeted specifically to the unique needs of this age group.
Conditions We Treat
Recovery is Possible
Addiction Issues
Young adults tend to be less likely to seek professional help for addiction because they feel invincible, but the use of drugs or alcohol can go from recreational to problematic very quickly. Admitting there’s an issue is the first step, allowing recovery to begin.
Learn MoreTrauma
Whether related to addiction, relationships, or events, trauma can reverberate through our lives, following us into adulthood. That’s why we believe it’s important to address the root trauma at the heart of each patient’s struggle in order to help them find lasting healing.
Learn MoreMental Health
Substance abuse and emotional trauma are often intertwined with mental health issues. By also addressing any co-occurring conditions – from anxiety and depression to bipolar and ADHD — we can help decrease the risk of relapse and increase the likelihood of lasting recovery.
