Renowned Addiction Treatment Center, Gatehouse Academy, Helps Residents Gain Coping Skills
With leading reports claiming that job loss is causing a growing rate of drug addiction and alcoholism, Gatehouse Academy, Arizona's #1 drug rehab facility for young adults age 17-25, is able to help residents face a tenuous future.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) September 3, 2009
Gatehouse Academy, the premier source and solution for young adult addiction treatment and drug rehab, acknowledges that the global recession is causing strong side effects in terms of dealing with a depressed job market. Whether it is the difficulty of finding a job, or the impact of losing a job, studies reveal that people who are out of work may turn to drugs or alcohol as a way of handling an unknown future.
A recent study released by the Audit Commission in Britain says that addiction could be the "second wave" of the global recession, with consequences far more dire than losing jobs. The Commission has criticized the British government for its negligence in treating these side effects in its introduction of various solution schemes that seem only to create confusion. As the social and psychological consequences of unemployment are ignored, programs designed to assist in these matters often run out of money, leaving people to try to deal with these problems on their own. Without the proper tools to cope with economic adversity, young adults will often turn to drugs, alcohol, and crime.
As a long-term drug rehab center, Gatehouse Academy's commitment to helping young adults find viable and healthy coping skills has proven to be highly effective. Besides receiving treatment for their addictions, these young adults are given a formal education at the high school and college level while being guided to find a constructive life path. As residents gain confidence in themselves, their coping skills begin to strengthen and they become better at handling stressful situations. By breaking old habits, these young adults are thus taught how to discover constructive solutions.
Because Gatehouse Academy provides a safe and encouraging environment, residents are better able to recover from addiction while simultaneously becoming integrated into a productive lifestyle. With a strong directive to provide young adults with appropriate programs for developing their skills on all levels, Gatehouse Academy is having great success in helping residents enjoy their lives without addiction. As these young adults experience the positive psychological and social results of the program, they become better able to envision and implement a productive future for themselves and the people who love them, regardless of which direction the economic wind blows.
