    Helping Young Adults Recover

    Facing the challenges of addiction can seem daunting, especially for young adults in New Jersey, where substance use disorders (SUDs) have become increasingly prevalent. If you are a young adult struggling with addiction or have a loved one with these issues, you’re not alone. With limited resources and inadequate education on substance abuse, many young adults fall into the gaps of a system primarily designed for older populations. Excel Treatment aims to bridge this gap and provide accessible treatment specially designed with the needs of young adults in mind. 

    Understanding that your journey is unique, young adult addiction treatment at Excel Treatment is tailored to encompass a range of evidence-based approaches including psychosocial support, pharmacologic treatments, and harm reduction strategies. Within the Garden State, options such as residential programs for young adults with depression and drug rehab for young adults are carefully designed to foster recovery in the least restrictive environments.

    How Addiction Affects Young People

    Young Adults & Addiction

    For a sustainable recovery, it’s vital for young adults to voluntarily choose treatment paths that resonate with their personal goals. Specialized care, including various mental health retreats for young adults, and comprehensive outpatient services can substantially decrease the need for hospitalization and emergency room visits. Inclusive care that constantly engages with you, even through relapse periods, not only reflects the importance of patient-centered approaches but also highlights an unwavering commitment to your success.

    Excel Treatment Center provides quality treatment and services for young adults with substance abuse disorders and works closely with each client to ensure programs are aligned with their experience and goals for recovery. With support every step of the way, Excel is proud to guide individuals in New Jersey seeking sobriety through every phase of the journey.

    Addiction & Young Adults

    How Addiction Impacts Young Adults in NJ

    In New Jersey, the escalation of young adult alcoholism and drug use is of particular concern, often rooted in experiences dating back to middle and high school. Peers can have a significant influence, and unsurprisingly, peer pressure stands out as a catalyst for substance experimentation and subsequent misuse. The stakes for treatment accessibility in New Jersey are high, considering that a staggering 11.72 million young adults nationwide engage in binge drinking, while New Jersey specifically displays alarming rates of both alcohol (4.2%) and opioid (0.9%) use disorders among its residents.



    The misuse of benzodiazepines, commonly accessed to soothe anxiety or sleep troubles, and the surge in opioid usage among young adults have marked consequences. Opioids alone have seen a 500% increase in overdose deaths since 1999 for the 15- to 24-year-old demographic. This age range is highly susceptible to addiction behaviors which can have long-term effects on physical well-being, mental health, and general lifestyle. That’s why substance abuse treatment at Excel Treatment in New Jersey provides both dual diagnosis and extensive drug addiction programs for young adults to address not just the addiction, but also the underlying causes. 

    New Jersey’s geographic location and the presence of extensive distribution networks have intensified the availability of illicit drugs, contributing to the state’s substance misuse predicament. This has created a combination of mental health and addiction issues, both of which require professional care. Excel Treatment Centers can provide services for dual diagnosis, and address mental health concerns along with addiction-focused programs for an effective, holistic approach to recovery.

    Dual-Diagnosis Treatment for Young Adults

    Co-Occurring Disorders & Young Adults

    Navigating the complexities of addiction can be intensified when accompanied by co-occurring disorders. These dual diagnoses present a unique set of challenges within young adult addiction treatment. However, those seeking treatment for a dual diagnosis should understand that up to 45% of young adults with mental health disorders also contend with substance use disorders (SUDs). The interplay between mental health ailments such as anxiety disorders, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and SUDs is more common than you might think.

    Identifying the root cause of co-occurring disorders can pose a significant challenge in your recovery process. For instance, it might be difficult to discern whether a mental health condition led you to rely on substances as coping mechanisms, or conversely, whether the substance use opened the door to mental health struggles. Risk factors play a pivotal role, too; if issues like undiagnosed ADHD or anxiety unknowingly lead to self-medication with drugs or alcohol, this may spiral into a dual-diagnosis situation. Similarly, ongoing substance use can gradually lead to the emergence of a mental health disorder.

    Excel Treatment Center has a team of highly experienced mental health and addiction professionals, who can work closely with clients to address both conditions. Regardless of which condition originated first, treating both at the same time is necessary for a successful recovery, as each can still impact the other. Individuals struggling with co-occurring conditions in New Jersey can find solace in Excel Treatment Center’s programs, as they provide long and short-term program options with comprehensive treatment, holistic services, and continuing care programs.

Our caring staff will provide all of the guidance you or your loved one needs to make the journey into recovery as streamlined as possible.

    We specialize in offering treatment to younger adults and adults in mid-life. At the Excel Center, we believe that recovery is possible for anyone, no matter what age or background. However, different groups of people face different challenges. As such, we make sure that the treatments we offer are varied and meet each of our clients’ exact needs. We consider the different life experiences, pressures, and histories of everyone who seeks help from us.

    What to Expect at our program

    Our Young Adult Addiction Treatment Program in New Jersey

    As individuals explore drug rehab options for young adults in New Jersey or consider mental health programs for young adults, look for programs that advocate for an integrated care model. These programs span a comprehensive mix of services and should address all aspects of addiction and mental health struggles. Some services to anticipate at Excel Treatment’s young adult programs include:

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    CBT is a fundamental component of treatment, focusing on reshaping negative thinking patterns. By identifying and challenging irrational thoughts, individuals can develop healthier perspectives and coping mechanisms.

    Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    DBT offers strategies for regulating emotions, equipping young adults with tools to manage intense feelings and interpersonal conflicts effectively. 

    Medicated Assisted Treatment

    Medication-assisted treatment provides additional support by addressing severe symptoms, including withdrawal and cravings, or severe mental health symptoms, through the prescription of appropriate medications under psychiatric supervision.

    Family Therapy

    Family therapy plays a vital role in treatment, involving loved ones in the recovery process and building a supportive environment. Through family therapy sessions, underlying family dynamics can be addressed, communication skills improved, and a network of support established to ensure long-term wellness.

    Additional Services

    Treatments like Multisystemic Therapy (MST) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are employed to improve resilience and commitment to personal values as part of the recovery journey. Avenues like dual diagnosis programs, essential components of substance abuse treatment, are intricately designed to ensure the concurrent management of mental health disorders and SUDs, thereby avoiding the exacerbation of either condition.

    Treatment services for young adults combine therapeutic modalities such as CBT and DBT with medication-assisted treatment and family therapy to address mental health challenges comprehensively. These services, offered in Excel Treatment Center’s various programs,  provide essential support and resources to promote recovery and improve the overall quality of life for young adults.
