Mental Health Treatment
Young adults have never faced more unique challenges. The journey to adulthood is full of excitement and promise in the modern age, but it can also be a time of overwhelming pressure, confusion, and emotional struggles. For some, these feelings lead to mental health challenges. In an attempt to manage or numb the pain, many turn to substances like drugs or alcohol. While this may feel like a temporary escape, it’s a dangerous path that can further complicate life and deepen emotional struggles.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Using drugs to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges, can feel isolating and hopeless, but a better life is possible. At Monument Recovery, we specialize in helping young adults regain control of their lives through personalized, evidence-based treatment that addresses both substance use and the mental health issues that fuel it.
Young Adult Drug Use & Mental Health
The transition from adolescence to adulthood has always been fraught with pressure: major life decisions, academic and career expectations, social comparisons, personal identity crises, and more. Being a young adult in today’s fast-paced, interconnected world comes with even more challenges. Social media can amplify feelings of inadequacy, while the stigma surrounding mental health keeps many from seeking help. For those who are already struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma, these external forces can push them toward substances as a form of self-medication.
Substances like drugs and alcohol may offer temporary relief, numbing emotional pain or distracting from overwhelming thoughts. However, this short-term relief has long-term consequences. Substance use makes mental health symptoms even worse, creating a tragic cycle of dependency that is hard to escape without help. Everyone deserves freedom from that prison.
Young Adult Treatment
At Monument Recovery, we take a compassionate, whole-person approach to treating both mental health challenges and substance use. Our dedicated team of professionals includes therapists, medical personnel, and recovery mentors who specialize in holistic treatment that addresses both substance use and the underlying challenges at the same time. This integrated approach is crucial for young adults who use substances to manage their emotional struggles.
No two people are the same. That’s why we design personalized treatment plans that accommodate the unique needs, experiences, and goals of every young adult in our community. Our entire range of services is designed to meet the needs of young adults who are struggling. We equip our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to recover — and to lead a fulfilling, healthy life, including:
Assessment
Before treatment begins, we conduct a thorough assessment to understand the full scope of each client’s challenges. This allows us to identify any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the substance use and design a treatment plan that addresses these root causes.
Therapy
One-on-one therapy sessions provide a safe space for young adults to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and work through underlying issues that may have contributed to their substance use in a safe environment.
Group Therapy
Finding friends who are going through similar challenges can be incredibly empowering. Our group therapy sessions offer a supportive community where young adults can share their experiences, offer each other encouragement, and learn from one another’s journey toward recovery.
Holistic Therapies
Healing is about the whole person. At Monument Recovery, we incorporate holistic therapies like yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and reiki to help young adults reconnect with themselves and build a healthier lifestyle.
Life Skills
Recovery continues far beyond treatment. Building a better life means learning practical skills such as stress management, goal setting, communication, and more. Clients can build new confidence as they transition back into everyday life after treatment.
Recovery for the Family
As a family member, watching your loved one struggle with mental health and substance use is devastating. You may feel helpless, confused, or even frustrated; but it’s important to remember that you still have the ability to make a difference. At Monument Recovery, we provide family members with the guidance, education, and resources needed to become a source of strength and encouragement for recovery.

Recovering from substance use and mental health issues is not easy, but it is possible. Every young adult has the strength within them to overcome these challenges and build a better future.
