College represents a major life transition for young adults and coincides with a period of profound cognitive and developmental changes. Because of this compounding of internal and external disruption, many young people who enter college encounter difficulties that they are ill-equipped to deal with and permanently withdraw prior to graduation. Currently, statistics for college failure hover at close to 50% nationally. Adjustment difficulties are further compounded when a college entrant has a history of emotional struggles such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, or substance abuse. According to clinical psychologist Gayle Jensen-Savoie, there are effective ways to make these emerging adults much more attrition resistant. Jensen-Savoie is the executive director for a Texas-based treatment and transition program for young women, most of whom go on to college and independent living after treatment.

According to Jensen-Savoie, adjustment difficulties typically come to a head at year one or year three of the college experience. We see college students wash out during the first yearsometimes even the first few weeksfrequently with drugs and alcohol playing a part. Many of these first-year drop outs enter college with emotional problems that are accelerated by transitional stress and a sudden lack of external structure. These students may turn to drugs or alcohol to dampen these emotional issues. Others come from highly controlled home environments and just go crazy with the sudden access to drugs and alcohol, and lack of structure.
