Watch the Road to Recovery Program on the Millenial Generation and Recovery

Young adults increasingly are joining the ranks of people in recovery. The needs of young adults (ages 18 to 25), an age group sometimes called "the Millennial Generation," differ from the needs of older and younger generational groups. This show focuses on the particular needs and preferences of young adults as they engage in treatment for mental and substance use disorders and follows their journey of recovery. Effective strategies for preventing young adults from initiating substance use, escalating their substance use, or developing mental disorders will also be explored. Young adults have been raised in an era in which the Internet provides vast quantities of information with rapid access to this information facilitated by mobile technologies. These lifestyle factors—which have strong implications for prevention strategies, treatment approaches, and recovery systems for this age group—will be examined.
