Transitioning from adolescence to young adulthood can cause stress related to living at home or alone, attending college, searching for a job, entering the workforce, leaving old friends, and forming new relationships. These struggles can hinder a young adult’s ability to function independently which can trigger problems with substance abuse and/or mental health problems. Princeton House Behavioral Health’s Young Adult Program offers partial hospital and intensive outpatient treatment services to meet the unique needs of young men and women between the ages of 18 and mid-20s. This age group is at the center of our nation’s current epidemic of addiction to opiate prescription pain relief medications and heroin. Our program addresses both the mental health and substance abuse issues of young adults.
