BLUE ASH, Ohio — There's a new solution to help those struggling with substance use disorder or mental health issues in the Cincinnati area.

Young adults aged 18-25 are the most likely to use drugs, according to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics . A Blue Ash behavioral health center is making sure they can get specific care for their needs and not be lumped into services with older adults.

"Previously, kids in this age range would be recommended to go to treatments or recovery programs that include people who are 50, 60, 65 years old," said Dr. David Baum, clinical director at ASAP Cincinnati .

ASAP's new program for young adults is called PIVOT . It was launched in September and Baum said five young adults have already been involved to receive the care they need.
