How Programs Help Your Young Adults

In many cases, these older children need structured living situations that are overseen by someone other than a parent. It isn't a boot camp or a swift kick in the rear that will help them, but coordinated living arrangements and daily responsibilities that will break the thought patterns and habits that have them stuck. The ATC Pathways Treatment system promotes responsibility for each participant; they learn four things during the treatment process: 1) How to Live Independently, 2) Healthy Living Habits, 3) Spiritual Awareness, and 4) How to Develop and Maintain Healthy Relationships. As these troubled young adults mature emotionally, physically and spiritually, they begin to understand the attitudes of a well-rounded adult.

The staff and family advocates at ATC are willing and ready to help your older children make changes in their behavior which will help them transition into adulthood as a well-rounded member of society. Please call ATC to find out how to begin the healing process. (866) 439-0354.

Young Adults from Illinois Can Find Treatment for Their Substance Abuse Issues

One of the greatest frustrations a parent from Illinois can experience is seeing a grown child suffer in life because of struggles with addictions to harmful substances or other emotional problems. Young adults that abuse dangerous substances like drugs or other things such as alcohol or tobacco, to the point that his or her life is in danger, it puts parents in a very difficult situation. Parents start question themselves, and wonder whether or not they made the right choices in raising their son or daughter. The problem is there is not one correct answer that fits all people, and no one can really know how one will react to this situation until it's one of your own.

Why Parents Choose At The Crossroads

Like parents everywhere, most of us are not prepared or trained to deal with troubled children, especially those who legally are adults. Society says they should be on their own and living an independent life away from their family. But when parents know their grown kids are not ready for life as an adult due to their dependency on dangerous substances, it becomes nearly impossible to know what steps to take. Thankfully there are Substance Abuse Treatment Centers for Young Adults that can help tremendously. One of the best is At The Crossroads; they specialize in helping grown children get the training and help they need to start living a productive adult life.

Some parental advice for understanding your young adult child..

TV is an effective teacher. While some TV has very positive social messages for young children, most of it teaches values contrary to what most parents want for their kids, and studies show that TV has a definite negative effect on the kids' values on sex, violence, acquisitiveness, race, and gender.

Parents can invite their teen’s friends for dinner to meet the kids they have questions about. When kids see them, see how their friends act with their parents, they can get a better sense of those friends. If you flat out say, you can't go out with those kids, it often can backfire.
