Young Men's Mental Health Treatment
For Depression, Anxiety, Anger, & More
Young men struggle with suicidal ideation, aggression, and conduct disorders at rates higher than their female peers, yet they are among the groups least likely to seek treatment for mental health. The Creek at Momentum Recovery was created by a team of men who had worked for years in treatment — and seen how it can fail young men. Our welcoming and vibrant community in Wilmington, NC, creates buy-in among even the most resistant, and our flexible continuum of best-in-class care accommodates the organic nature of mental health recovery.
Young Men & Mental Health Recovery
Beginning in adolescence and young adulthood, men experience markedly different mental health profiles than young women, often engaging in violence or impulsive behavior that can elevate their risk of premature death. Although they face their own mental health challenges, young men are often unlikely to seek help, due to a combination of factors: lack of mental health literacy, stigma, and more. The Creek at Momentum Recovery makes mental health accessible and attractive to any young man.

Our comprehensive and adaptable continuum of care allows for the ups and downs that may follow on that path.
