YOUNG ADULTS AND MENTAL HEALTH

Young adults struggle with more pressure, and more mental health problems than ever before.

According to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, young adults (age 18-25) have the highest proportion of mental illness among the growing 57.8 million adults in the US who struggle with mental health issues. Nearly half of those affected by mental health issues experience a significant negative impact in their lives, and recent trends suggest that mental health issues among young people in the United States may be increasing. A third of young adults experienced a mental illness in 2021, and over one in ten experienced a serious mental illness. Many young adults are also more likely to engage in behaviors that may exacerbate their mental health struggles, such as increased use of drugs and alcohol.

Research shows that for individuals with both an addiction and mental health issue, receiving treatment for both leads to much better outcomes. When looking for treatment, it may be helpful to find a facility that also specializes in treating co-occurring disorders, like 12 South Recovery.

RISKS OF MENTAL ILLNESSES IN TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS

While millions of young adults experience mental illnesses including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and substance use disorders, they can often remain untreated. This can greatly negatively impact those people both now, and in the future.

Teens and young adults are at a crucial stage of development, both physically and mentally. Imbalances in their emotional and mental health during this period can have far-reaching consequences. These imbalances not only disrupt the ongoing development of the brain but also tend to increase the likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors, such as substance abuse.

Mental illnesses can lead to a range of serious challenges, such as self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, and suicide.

The physical effects of poor mental health shouldn’t be overlooked, whether you’re personally experiencing them, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking understanding. These effects can manifest in various ways, such as stomach issues due to stress or disrupted sleep patterns. Not only do these physical symptoms impact overall well-being, but they can also complicate efforts to manage mental health effectively.

Getting treatment for a mental health disorder is critical, not only in reducing that risk and allowing the person to focus on their education, work, and personal life so that they may continue to build the foundation of their future, but also to ensure that mental health problems don’t result in physical health problems or death. Getting help is about quality of life now, and in the future.

DUAL DIAGNOSIS IN TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS

Dual diagnosis, or instances where someone has both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, is incredibly common.

Emerging adults who are dealing with both substance abuse and mental health issues face significant challenges. Research shows that one in four young adults struggle with a substance abuse disorder, and those who also struggle with mental illness are particularly vulnerable. In 2019, nearly half of young adults struggling with mental illness also had a substance use disorder. This highlights the importance of providing young adults with integrated treatment that addresses both substance abuse and mental health issues.

A young adult treatment program that specializes in dual diagnosis can provide the necessary support and resources to help individuals overcome these challenges and achieve lasting recovery. By providing this comprehensive approach to treatment, our specialized programs empower young adults with the support, skills, and tools needed to improve their overall well-being and lead fulfilling lives.

OUTPATIENT

Our outpatient treatment program provides flexibility and convenience, allowing you or your loved one to receive care at our Orange County facilities while still living at home. This means you can maintain your daily routine and have more freedom. Outpatient treatment has a lighter treatment schedule, which can be ideal for individuals who need to attend school or work. However, we understand that outpatient treatment may not be suitable for everyone, especially if their home environment poses recovery challenges. If outpatient treatment isn’t the best fit for you, our team will work closely with you and your family to explore other options that meet your care needs. This may include local sober living options or other intensive treatment programs.

Young adults are especially vulnerable to addiction and mental illness, and repercussions can be significantly greater for the developing brain and body than for an adult. 12 South Recovery offers an evidence-based program designed to meet the needs of young adults. We’re passionate about delivering that program with compassion, care, and understanding. We care about people, and our team are experienced in caring for and helping young people, learn, develop, and heal.
