Addiction Treatment for College Students
Substance abuse and alcohol addiction are common within the college student population, with easy access to drugs and alcohol in a culture that welcomes it. University students may begin developing addiction at an early stage, given the accessibility to drugs and the lack of supervision. Additionally, college is a stressful time of transitioning in a student’s life, in which they may choose to turn to drugs and alcohol as a type of anxiety and stress release. Without professional attention, students may begin to rely on substance abuse as a form of coping.
At New Choices Treatment Centers, we understand that addiction is a long-term battle. We have re-imagined the addiction treatment system with an empowerment model that incorporates a multidisciplinary approach. This process can help university students take on a new lifestyle by utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches, from addiction-induced anger management and cognitive behavioral therapy to family support groups and emotional regulation.
Our treatment is rooted in the philosophy that physical movement can induce neuro-regeneration for students struggling with substance abuse problems. Active in Recovery allows students to use physical movement and mental health therapy to positively impact substance use disorder recovery.
Since every student is different, the we offer multiple different options for treatment that best fits your lifestyle and needs, including:
