Who We Treat
College Students Addiction Treatment
Drug and alcohol use on college and university campuses has been normalized with various forms of media. Many view this time in a person's life as a time to experiment with substances and learn more about themselves. While some students are able to confine their substance use to the weekends, others find themselves struggling with a full-blown addiction.
Substance Abuse Statistics in College
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reported that the most commonly abused substance on college and university campuses from 2011 to 2014 was alcohol, followed by marijuana, hallucinogens, prescription pain medication, cocaine, stimulants, inhalants, methamphetamine, and benzodiazepines, respectively.
Why is Substance Common Among College Students?
Substance use among college students has become widely accepted and is now an almost expected behavior. Part of this social expectation has to do with messages from television shows, movies, and social media that show the frequent use of substances. For many college students, going to college is their first experience living without the supervision of a parent or guardian. This can be a time to learn more about who you are as a person, your likes, and your dislikes. The access to drugs and alcohol on college and university campuses can make it easy for students to experiment with a range of substances. Without supervision from adults, students may find themselves using substances more often than they intended. With alcohol being the most commonly abused substance among college students, the major concern that we see among college students is binge drinking. Binge drinking refers to drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short period. This can occur easily with the use of drinking games. Binge drinking can increase a student's risk for injury, blackouts, and other alcohol-related concerns.
What Does a College Student Rehab Program Entail?
A college student rehab will utilize traditional addiction treatment approaches, including individual therapy, group therapy, and educational sessions. Depending on the treatment facility, students may have access to alternative treatment options. Many addiction treatment programs offer dual-diagnosis treatment for students who are living with a mental health concern in addition to their addiction. College student rehab programs will provide students with individualized and specialized care. This can include group therapy specifically for students and individual sessions that focus on concerns students have. Rehab programs may offer family therapy options for students and their loved ones. This can be a useful program for families who need to work on boundaries and communication patterns or learn more about addiction and recovery. Laguna View Detox is a college student rehab center in Laguna Beach. Our luxurious treatment facility has a smaller setting, which allows for a smaller counselor-to-client ratio. You will have the opportunity to receive detoxification care before entering our residential inpatient program.
What Are the Benefits of a Drug Rehab for College Students?
There are a variety of benefits that college students can gain from a specialized rehab program. For starters, they will be able to take a step back from their studies in a safe environment that does not have drugs and alcohol. Detoxification can be a useful program for students who were unable to stop using, and those who may experience medical concerns during the withdrawal process. College students' rehab can help students feel connected and supported. With the wide use of drugs and alcohol on college and university campuses, it can often feel as though everyone else is using substances which can feel lonely and isolating. College student rehab programs will include other students in a similar position which can help normalize the presence of students in recovery in a higher education session. Specialized college student programs will focus on concerns specific to college students. In addition to limited social support, college students are at a high risk of running into individuals who are using substances whenever they are on campus. This can include the dorms, cafeterias, classrooms, and the library. Specialized treatment will discuss ways to avoid substances when possible, and how to cope and manage unexpected and unavoidable situations. These treatment programs will help students develop a personalized aftercare plan to support their recovery. This can include continued treatment and the use of support groups.
