Early adulthood can be a challenging time, especially for those navigating recovery from substance use. At Pyramid Healthcare West Virginia, our Young Adult Residential Program provides men ages 18 to 28 with a safe, structured environment to heal, grow and develop the skills needed for lifelong recovery.

Located at our Martinsburg Residential Treatment Center in Hedgesville, this program offers an extended continuum of care that allows clients to move through multiple treatment levels without changing facilities. Men can enter at ASAM Level 3.5 (high-intensity residential) and continue into Level 3.1 (low-intensity residential), remaining in the same supportive setting for up to 120 days.

This seamless structure promotes consistency, stability and lasting progress—key components of successful long-term recovery.

What is the Young Adult Program?

The Young Adult Program is designed specifically for men in early adulthood who are seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Treatment emphasizes personal responsibility, emotional growth and preparation for the next phase of life.

By staying in one location throughout both levels of residential care, clients maintain strong, trusting relationships with their therapists, peers and support staff. This continuity of care enhances engagement, accountability and long-term outcomes.

Who is This Program Designed For?

This program is ideal for men who:

  • Are between the ages of 18 and 28 and seeking structure in early recovery
  • Need a full continuum of residential care without transferring facilities
  • Want to address substance use while developing life skills and independence
  • Are managing co-occurring mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression
  • Benefit from peer support and a recovery community built around shared experiences

Our admissions team can help assess whether the Young Adult Program is the right fit for you or your loved one.

What to Expect During Treatment

The program provides comprehensive, stage-appropriate care that meets both clinical and personal development needs. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan that integrates therapy, education and skill-building for sustainable recovery.

Program highlights include:

  • Individual and group therapy sessions
  • Medication management and psychiatric support when needed
  • Life-stage programming focused on education, career goals and personal growth
  • Relationship and communication skill development
  • Relapse prevention and emotional regulation strategies
  • Peer support groups and community-building activities

Clients gain practical tools to manage daily challenges and prepare for a successful transition into independent living or ongoing outpatient care.

Why Continuity of Care Matters

One of the greatest strengths of the Young Adult Program is its continuous structure. Clients progress from high-intensity residential care to low-intensity residential care within the same facility, supported by the same clinical team.

This consistent environment helps:

  • Strengthen trust between clients and staff
  • Promote stability and engagement in treatment
  • Reduce the stress of transitioning between facilities
  • Encourage accountability and long-term commitment to recovery

By maintaining these meaningful connections, young men develop the confidence and self-awareness necessary to sustain sobriety long after completing treatment.

Focusing on Life Skills and Independence

Recovery is about more than overcoming addiction—it’s about learning how to live successfully and purposefully. The Young Adult Program emphasizes personal development through practical life skills training, career exploration and education planning.

Clients participate in workshops and activities that promote:

  • Career readiness and job search skills
  • Academic planning and goal setting
  • Financial literacy and personal responsibility
  • Healthy relationships and communication
  • Time management and self-discipline

These skills help young men rebuild their confidence and create a solid foundation for an independent, sober lifestyle.
