Young Adult Addiction & Mental Health Treatment in North Carolina
Dual-diagnosis Treatment for Young Men & Women
Addiction Recovery & Mental Health Care on the North Carolina Coast
Just off the beach of the Wilmington shore lies a special retreat. It’s a place where young adults can trade the challenges and triggers of life for a new sense of peace. Bad influences and toxic relationships are replaced with a loving, supportive community where everyone belongs. It’s the perfect place to find purpose, identity, and recovery from addiction and mental health struggles. Welcome to Momentum Recovery.
Our Four-Phase Addiction Treatment Approach
Primary Residential Addiction Treatment & Mental Health Care
During our primary residential addiction treatment and mental health program, young adults live in our gender-specific communities while receiving intensive mental health and addiction treatment 24/7. As they heal the root causes of their addiction and mental health issues, they’ll experience a new sense of hope and belonging.
Intensive Outpatient Programs for Addiction Treatment & Mental Health
From there, clients step down to our intensive outpatient programs. In IOP, clients continue the important work of primary residential addiction treatment and mental health treatment, with a schedule that allows them to begin exploring some autonomy. Intensive outpatient programs meet for several hours throughout the week, but allow clients to work a part-time job, go back to school, volunteer, or pursue new hobbies where appropriate.
Sober Living
Our sober living communities allow young adults to continue to enjoy the sense of belonging and trust that they have experienced even as they begin to transition into normal everyday life. Early recovery is a critical period and sober living provides an additional layer of support.
Change Management
During the Change Management phase, clients live independently away from the Momentum campus. However, they continue to work with their therapist and case manager, submit to drug testing, and attend group therapy sessions as desired. It’s the final step towards living a healthy, independent life in recovery.
Dual-Diagnosis Addiction Treatment
Momentum Recovery is proud to utilize a true dual-diagnosis approach to addiction treatment — meaning we treat the addiction by addressing the underlying mental health issues that cause it. Licensed for primary health care, we use innovative modalities such as EMDR, CBT, recreational therapy, and more to uncover and heal underlying trauma and/or co-occurring mental health disorders that can fuel substance abuse. Family members are involved in the treatment process as appropriate in order to ensure comprehensive healing for the entire family system. Through it all, young adults will find a community in which they can build trust, foster healthy relationships, and begin to recover.
Experiential Activities for Recovery
A vital element in each young adult’s treatment plan includes experiential activities. Not only do these activities have substantial therapeutic benefits; but also, they help clients learn how to have fun in recovery. Each activity is designed to teach new, healthy life skills and coping mechanisms that are the foundation for a successful life in recovery. Some of the experiential activities our young adults participate in include:
Swimming
Surfing
Fishing
Paddle Boarding
Canoeing
Softball
Finding Community in Wilmington, NC
The young people's recovery community in the Wilmington, NC, area is electric, offering the opportunity for fellowship, support, fun, and personal growth. Momentum Recovery is very active and involved in this community and encourages residents to form relationships with other people as they walk through the recovery process. Many of our residents have the goal of completing college. We have several options for these individuals. Wilmington is home to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College. Both of these options tend to be highly desirable places for our residents to continue working towards academic goals. Just as important as any of the above components, the Wilmington area provides endless opportunities for our residents to have fun and enjoy the lives they are building. We believe that this is a crucial component in assisting young people to firmly establish lives of recovery. As such, we strive to create an environment and a lifestyle that is attractive and enjoyable.
