Far too often, teens and young adults fall through the cracks when it comes to rehab. There are plenty of places that cater to older adults. However, the younger set typically doesn’t mix well with some of these participants during rehab. Nevertheless, it’s possible to find excellent teen drug rehab programs at facilities that serve all demographics.
Statistics related to teen drug use in grades eight through 12 show promising trends. The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains that illicit drug use is at the lowest levels in 20 years. Concurrently, the agency reports that young people understand the dangers of drug and alcohol use. There’s also a measurable decrease in opioid misuse among these teenagers.
However, no amount of promising teen drug abuse statistics is comforting when your youngster is dealing with an addiction. Moreover, there’s a need for recent high school graduates to receive care. Many rehab facilities specifically cater to adults. However, some good-quality centers also offer dedicated teen drug rehab programs.
Older teens already in college are sometimes unprepared for the onslaught of drug availability on some college campuses. Just after spreading their wings and leaving home, they flounder. Maybe they tried to study harder, and a buddy offered them some pills to make it happen. Perhaps they gained the “freshman fifteen” and tried some drugs to get the weight off.
No matter how they got there, they need help. Older teen drug rehab programs at established facilities make it possible for this demographic to recover. Concurrently, they focus on helping students with returning to school after student addiction treatment finishes. A stay at the rehab center starts with an intake interview.
It allows an addiction specialist to customize a treatment protocol for a teen. Possible modalities include:
Should a teen be living at the rehab facility? Residential rehab is advantageous when the drug abuse occurred on campus or at the job while the teen lived independently. Sometimes, a roommate situation can become dicey if other people in the home are doing drugs. They may not support your teen’s desire to clean up and actively try to hamper her or his sobriety.
On the other hand, teens with a stable support system may participate in a partial hospitalization program. They spend their days at the rehab facility and return home in the evenings. This setup is advantageous when peers or parents actively support the individual’s desire to become sober. Of course, the extent of the addiction plays a pivotal role in making this decision.
Typically, a discussion with an intake counselor helps you to decide what is the best course of action. In fact, are you or a loved one struggling with drug abuse right now? Could you benefit from our adult or teen drug rehab programs? Connecting with an addiction specialist at Beaches Recovery is as easy as dialing 866.605.0532 now.
