New Paradigm Recovery offers a unique intensive outpatient young adult addiction treatment program (IOP) designed for those aged 18-30. This program is tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals in this crucial life stage. It provides a flexible daytime schedule, allowing participants to attend treatment while managing other life responsibilities.
Our emerging adult outpatient drug treatment program allows young adults to begin with intensive treatment, attending 4 to 5 days a week. This schedule helps provide stability and structure. As part of our intensive outpatient program (IOP), clients receive structured therapy while still living at home. They attend group and individual counseling as well as workshops and psychiatric appointments, all aimed at building coping skills, improving mental health, and preventing relapse. It’s particularly effective for those who have finished inpatient care, making it a great fit for emerging adults looking to regain control of their future.
Flexible Scheduling That Encourages Growth
As clients begin to rebuild their lives—whether by starting a new job or enrolling in college—they can smoothly transition from daytime to evening groups. This flexibility ensures they continue to receive the care they need without compromising their personal or professional goals. IOP is ideal for young adults who need comprehensive support but don’t require 24/7 supervision. This flexible treatment approach allows participants to maintain their daily routines and set new goals, all while getting the support they need to overcome addiction.
The recommended length of our young adult addiction treatment program is typically 3-6 months, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Clients usually begin with a 5-day Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which provides the most structured support. As they make progress, they have the opportunity to “step-down” to 4-day and eventually 3-day IOP, allowing for more flexibility while still maintaining the necessary care. This gradual reduction in intensity ensures a smooth transition as they work toward long-term recovery.
Personalized and Comprehensive Care
At New Paradigm Recovery, we understand that addiction impacts the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our young adult outpatient drug treatment program addresses these areas through individualized care plans. These plans consider each client’s history, relationships, legal concerns, and personal aspirations. Our treatment model is based on evidence-based practices and includes:
Our highly trained therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities. We also incorporate somatic experiencing and polyvagal self-regulation approaches to support long-term recovery.
Family Involvement and Support
Family support is an essential part of the recovery process. New Paradigm Recovery offers weekly family therapy groups, allowing loved ones to play a crucial role in their young adult’s journey. These sessions help families rebuild trust and improve communication, fostering a supportive environment for lasting recovery.
Importance of Peer Support
One of the key benefits of our young adult addiction treatment program is the opportunity to connect with peers who are on the same journey. Getting clean and sober at a young age can feel isolating, but being surrounded by others who understand the challenges of early adulthood and recovery creates a powerful support network. These group sessions foster a sense of belonging and shared experience, which is vital for building trust and accountability. Peer support encourages motivation and provides a safe space for individuals to openly share their struggles and successes. This community-based approach helps young adults feel less alone and more empowered to stay on track in their recovery.
Empowering Young Adults to Build a Strong Future
Our program not only supports recovery but also empowers young adults to take control of their future. As clients move through treatment, they have the flexibility to transition from daytime to evening sessions. This allows them to take on responsibilities, such as new jobs or college courses, while continuing to receive the support they need. The ability to adjust their schedule gives them the freedom to balance recovery with personal growth.
Our evidence-based therapeutic techniques equip young adults with practical tools for managing stress, building emotional resilience, and developing healthier habits. By addressing trauma and family dynamics, they gain the skills necessary to succeed not only in their recovery but also in other areas of life. This holistic approach empowers them to create lasting change and pursue their goals with confidence.
