The Claudia Black Young Adult Center Now Open In January of this year, the young adult program at The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona became the Claudia Black Young Adult Center – an intensive, experientially based program specifically tailored to young adults ages 18 -26 struggling with emotional trauma, addiction, have a dual-diagnosis or who have failed past addiction treatments. This 45-day treatment program is an opportunity for young people to interact and engage in a safe, secure and nurturing community of their peers, but it also includes a strong focus on family systems. The Claudia Black Young Adult Center strongly focuses on how family systems can transform the lives of young adults and their families. Through real-time webinars, patients and their families are embraced into the process before treatment even begins. The program includes a focus on life skills such as interviewing techniques, resume development and how to secure important life necessities in order to empower young adults. Experiential healing modalities are a large part of the treatment process, including neurofeedback, mindfulness practices, equine- assisted psychotherapy, challenge courses and trauma-informed psychodrama, along with EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. There is 12-step involvement if necessary and the most current testing and assessment tools are used to paint an accurate picture of each patient’s status and unique needs. Claudia Black, Ph.
