Private rooms in an upscale recovery residence sets a relaxing tone for recovery. Highly experienced and credentialed staff personalize the treatment experience for each resident.
Accidental overdoses and suicides among 18 – 30 year olds increase every year. Young adults quickly progress to harder drugs such as heroin, fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine before they have a chance to grow up. Once they become addicted, normal development stops. The drugs take over. Personalized treatment at BoardPrep breaks the cycle of the disease and sets the course for lasting recovery.

Successful treatment of young adults takes the long view of what is going to happen after treatment, when relapse triggers will be at their peak. All good addiction treatment resolves conflicts and builds insight in the patient and family. However with young adults, it goes further into building coping skills and life skills that will be there long after initial treatment.

The Collaborative Treatment Process
The first 3 phases of BoardPrep’s 5-phase system form the foundation for continued recovery in a less structured setting. Based on ongoing ASAM dimensional assessment, many clients are recommended to return home and continue their recovery in an outpatient or intensive outpatient setting.
When clients transition from B-phase to C-phase, a comprehensive clinical review is undertaken by the interdisciplinary treatment team. Clients are endorsed for transition to outpatient or intensive outpatient at 6 weeks (upon completion of C-phase) based on the following criteria:
- Behavioral stability and compliance with treatment plan
- Medication compliance, including Vivitrol when recommended
- Positive response to treatment
- Completion of individualized assignment packet
- Endorsement of professional monitoring program (med pros)
- “Pre-admission” to OP or IOP completed prior to transition
Making the right choice
Studies show that identifying with or relating to others in treatment is one key to early recovery. When a person goes to a rehab in a place where they feel they do not belong, because they cannot relate to others in the group, it can actually do more harm than good.

Young adults and Marijuana
Despite recent shifts in popular opinion about marijuana in the U.S., the fact remains that regular marijuana use is harmful, especially to young people.
Myths
What users say (and believe) about the drug
- “Marijuana is my medicine.”
- “It helps my anxiety.”
- “It helps me with my ADD.”
- “It’s not addicting.”
- “It’s not a gateway drug.”
The Truth
- Causes memory deficits and other cognitive problems
- Associated with loss of IQ
- Performance problems lead to increased frustration and anxiety
- “Amotivational syndrome” leads to anger with self for mounting failures
- Marijuana is “addicting.” The powerful high from today’s marijuana is very much “addicting.” People who like it, begin to pursue it to the exclusion of other things and begin rationalizing doing so.
- Using Marijuana is a gateway to other substances. Regular marijuana users are naturally exposed to people who are using and dealing other illicit substances. Marijuana users are clearly more likely to begin using other drugs – like Molly, Heroin, K2, Spice, Etizolam, Kratom and internet “designer drugs” and Cocaine.
The Evidence
- The following article shows the relationship between regular marijuana use starting at a young age and later emotional problems and attention problems:
- And the following article shows the relationship between regular marijuana use and problems with dampened response to reward:
Recovery Means Healing the Brain
Repeated use of alcohol or other drugs changes the brain’s chemistry and structure, especially in young people. Treatment is based on the latest advances in brain science. The primary goal of treatment for young adults is to establish recovery. Recovery heals the brain over time.
Getting and staying sober can be difficult. Whether the problem is alcohol, prescription medications or street drugs, most people who attempt recovery end up relapsing. However, lasting recovery is possible. Treatment works best when driven by experienced clinical experts, bringing together the individual and family to develop a specific care plan. BoardPrep is comprised of top national experts specializing in addiction recovery, psychiatry and behavioral health.
