Mental health is something that should be prioritized no matter how young or old you are. Our mental health plays a key role in both our mental and physical well-being. Neglecting our mental health can have major ramifications including substance abuse and addiction, major medical complications, and even suicidal thoughts and actions.
At Innercept, we understand the importance of mental health, especially for young adults who may be experiencing new challenges in their life. Our mental health programs for young adults in Idaho offer those between the ages of 18 and 28 a unique and creative way to properly address their mental health struggles in a safe and supportive inpatient environment.
If you or a loved one is between the ages of 18 and 28 and could benefit from professional mental health treatment, keep reading to learn how we can help.
What We Offer
Whether you have previously given mental health treatment a try and it was unsuccessful, or you are seeking treatment for the first time, at Innercept we offer a unique Joint-Comission accredited mental health treatment program specifically designed for treating young adults.
Located in the resort town of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho and with nature as the backdrop, our 90-day minimum stay inpatient program allows us the ability to work with and treat those between the ages of 18 and 28 who may be suffering from even the most complex diagnoses and stubborn symptoms.
Through our evidence-based integral-recovery approach to psychology, we help those in treatment see not just themselves, but also the world around them in a more detailed and effective way by focusing on the following 4 things:
- Foundational values
- Behaviors and perspective
- Social system and environment
- Self and consciousness
What We Treat
Our diverse team of therapists and treatment professionals are specially trained to work with young adults and some of the unique challenges that those between the ages of 18 and 28 face.
Many young adults that struggle mentally developed their mental health condition at a young age. Some, however, may not have been properly diagnosed and, as they are getting older, are learning more about the challenges they face. Others may have previously tried some form of mental help treatment and found that it didn’t work for them.
Regardless of what may bring a young adult to our facility, we are here to help. We treat a wide range of complex issues and mental health conditions including:
- Mood disorders such as bipolar disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety and panic disorders such as OCD and social anxiety
- Executive functioning issues
- Adoption and attachment issues
- Autism spectrum disorders and/or related diagnoses
- Trauma/PTSD
- Strained relationships with parents and authority figures
- Decline in academic performance

Young Adult Stabilization
For those that are coming to us from a psychiatric hospital setting, or for those who may need some additional support before they start their treatment program, our young adult stabilization program is designed to help prevent additional hospitalizations as well as help mitigate the severity of certain stressful events.

Our Stabilization program consists of three phases:

Mental Health Programs For Young Adults in Idaho
Young adulthood, specifically between the ages of 18 and 28 is an important time in a person’s life. This is often the time when a young adult will learn the most about themself as they go out on their own in order to start their life’s journey as an adult.
Even for the most mentally strong person, this time in a person’s life can be stressful as they deal with a lot of firsts:
- First job
- First time being independent of their family
- First serious relationship
Trying to juggle all these new events and experiences while also suffering mentally can make even the most basic tasks a challenge. It can also do damage to not just your mental development but your physical development as well and impact your overall health and well-being.
If you feel that you are struggling mentally as you try and navigate this new life that you have formed for yourself, it is important to remember that it is ok to ask for help. Even if you have tried treatment in the past and didn’t feel that it worked for you, as we age and evolve so does our brain and our brain’s ability to accept change.
At Innercept we understand the unique challenges that young adults face. We also know how mental struggles can play an added role in these challenges. That’s why we created our young adult, intensive 90-day inpatient mental health stabilization and treatment program.
