Anxiety & Depression Treatment for Young Adults

When worry or low mood starts running your days, it is hard to see a way forward. We help young adults understand what is happening, build skills that work, and feel like themselves again.

Understanding Anxiety & Depression

More than a rough patch

Anxiety and depression are common, real and treatable.

The years between adolescence and independence bring big transitions: school, work, relationships, moving out. For many young adults, anxiety and depression show up right in the middle of it, sometimes alongside substance use as a way to cope.

Our team treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. We look at what is driving how you feel, then build a plan with therapy, skills, community and, when it helps, medication support.

AIM Health is where I found my second chance at life. The team there not only provided expert treatment but also showed me immense kindness and compassion. They believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself. Thanks to AIM, I now have the tools to navigate life's challenges and thrive. I am eternally grateful.

FAQ

Anxiety & Depression FAQ

Not seeing your question? Our admissions team is glad to walk you through your options.

Talk with admissions (720) 739-3332
Do you treat anxiety and depression without substance use?

Yes. We treat mental health conditions on their own, as well as when they occur with substance use.

Will I have to take medication?

Not necessarily. Medication is one option. Our psychiatric team can evaluate whether it might help, and the choice is made with you.

Which program is right for anxiety or depression?

It depends on how much symptoms affect daily life. Our assessment helps us recommend Day Treatment, IOP or Outpatient care.
