College Students Treatment Programs in New Jersey at Woodmont Treatment Center
College is an exciting time filled with academic aspirations, new relationships, and personal growth. However, it also comes with its fair share of challenges. The pressure to succeed academically, maintain social connections, and transition into adulthood can take a toll on mental health and can lead some students to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse. Unfortunately, addiction and mental health struggles are becoming increasingly prevalent among college students, making it critical to address these issues head-on with compassionate, specialized care. The combination of addiction and mental health concerns can disrupt a student's academic progress, damage relationships, and jeopardize their future. For many college students, the stigma around seeking help compounds the problem, as they may feel isolated or ashamed to admit they're struggling. This is where specialized treatment programs, like the ones offered at Woodmont Treatment Center in New Jersey, can make a profound difference in a student's life. At Woodmont Treatment Center, we provide evidence-based, individualized programs designed specifically with college students in mind. Our approach recognizes the unique challenges that young adults face, offering them the tools and support they need to overcome addiction, improve their mental health, and thrive both academically and personally.

College Students & Substance Abuse
Substance abuse among college students remains a widespread and growing issue across the United States. For many young adults, college marks a time of transition, independence, and new social pressures—which can also increase vulnerability to risky behaviors, including drug and alcohol use. The combination of academic stress, peer influence, mental health challenges, and easy access to substances often creates a perfect storm for experimentation that can escalate into dependency.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), approximately 49% of full-time college students reported drinking alcohol in the past month, and about 28% engaged in binge drinking (defined as consuming five or more drinks on one occasion for men, or four or more for women). Additionally, the misuse of prescription stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin—commonly used to enhance academic performance—has risen on campuses, with up to 20% of students admitting to nonmedical use. Cannabis, hallucinogens, and vaping-related nicotine use also remain prevalent, particularly among younger students.
Substance abuse at this stage of life can have serious consequences, including academic failure, health problems, legal issues, and the development of long-term substance use disorders. It can also intensify underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma—issues that are increasingly common among college populations. The 2022 Healthy Minds Study found that over 60% of college students met the criteria for at least one mental health condition, which often goes untreated or self-medicated with drugs or alcohol.
Addressing substance use in college students requires a proactive and supportive approach. Education, early intervention, campus counseling services, and access to confidential treatment programs are critical components. Specialized outpatient programs, peer support groups, and dual diagnosis treatment can help students manage both substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges while continuing their education. If you’re concerned about a student—or are a student yourself—seeking help early can make all the difference in protecting both health and future success.
What Is a College Students Rehab?
A college students rehab is a specialized treatment program tailored to meet the needs of college-aged individuals who are battling substance use disorders, mental health challenges, or both. Unlike traditional rehabilitation programs that cater to a broad demographic, a college students program takes into account the specific life stage, pressures, and developmental needs of young adults.
At Woodmont Treatment Center, our college students rehab blends evidence-based therapies with holistic support to ensure that students can heal in an environment that fosters growth. We understand that every individual’s journey is unique, which is why our programs are personalized to meet the specific needs of each student.
- Detoxification (Detox):
For students struggling with physical dependence on drugs or alcohol, our supervised detox program helps them safely and comfortably rid their bodies of harmful substances. Medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to ensure their safety and provide emotional support during this critical first step. - Residential Treatment:
Residential treatment provides a structured, immersive environment for students to focus entirely on their recovery. With 24/7 support, therapy sessions, and peer group activities, this level of care is ideal for those needing intensive help. - Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP):
For students seeking intensive treatment while gradually integrating back into daily habits, PHP offers comprehensive care during the day, allowing them to return home or to a supportive living environment at night. - Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP):
This program is perfect for students who are ready to resume some aspects of their daily life, such as attending classes, while still receiving substantial therapeutic support. - Aftercare Planning:
Recovery doesn’t end when formal treatment does. Our aftercare planning ensures that students leave our facility with the resources and guidance they need to navigate life post-treatment, including support groups, relapse prevention planning, and academic counseling.
Choosing a college students rehab like ours means entrusting professionals who understand the importance of balancing recovery with personal and academic goals. Some key features of our program include:
- Individualized Treatment Plans: Each student receives a personalized plan tailored to their specific needs and goals.
- Evidence-Based Therapies: Including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing.
- Group Therapy: Students connect with peers who share similar experiences, reducing feelings of isolation and encouraging mutual support.
- Academic Support: We collaborate with colleges to ensure students can transition back to campus successfully.
- Family Involvement: Family therapy helps rebuild trust and create a supportive environment for long-term recovery.
