Life Skills & Career Development
Substance abuse and mental health issues in young adults can hinder their development in other areas. For instance, these issues can create struggles in things like social skills, career development, and activities of daily living. While therapeutic treatment is vital to recovery, life skills and career development are also critical to obtaining a high quality of life. For this reason, Launch Centers of Los Angeles, CA, offers life skills and career development for young adults in recovery from addiction and mental health disorders.
Life Skills Training & Assistance
Treatment at Launch Centers involves a variety of therapies that help individuals reclaim, rediscover, and reconstruct their lives. For many, life skills are developed throughout the course of adolescent and young adult years to help adapt to change. However, individuals who suffer from substance abuse or mental health disorders at a young age either miss out on the opportunity to develop these skills or have lost the ability to self-manage. For young adults, recovery from substance abuse and mental health disorders is not only about staying sober, but developing the necessary skills to gain independence as an adult.
Launch Centers’ life skills program focuses on the needs of young adult emotional growth backed by responsibility. In this, individuals learn skills such as time management, problem solving, and how to manage all components of their mental and physical health beyond the scope of treatment in a sober and productive manner.
Identifying Strengths
Research indicates that those who undergo treatment for alcohol and other drug abuse largely have poor work histories and low employment rates, regardless of their education. Relapse rates for individuals in recovery increase when unemployment remains a constant in their lives. Our educational and career development program helps young adults identify strengths, weaknesses, and develop the skills needed to find a job related to their interests and goals, or transition back into schooling with guidance and assistance.
