National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

Once again, America finds itself facing another drug addiction epidemic. As usual, the nation’s teens would seem to be the most vulnerable to what’s taking place from shore-to-shore. Unfortunately, kids are operating under a series of myths about drug and alcohol addiction. That’s precisely why the nation observes National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW) every year.

About National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

In January of each year, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) co-sponsor events to dispel addiction myths. They focus their efforts during National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week. For 2019, these co-sponsors have scheduled National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week for the week of January 22-27.

For participants nationwide, the co-sponsor organizations are preparing to provide free information about substance abuse and addiction. This information is fact-based, using proven science as the main ingredient. This information focuses on telling the truth about substance abuse myths that affect the nation’s youth. It also addresses issues regarding substance abuse treatment programs.

When possible, participating organizations can request direct support from experts who are available for personal appearances and presentations. These programs are ideal for high school educators who feel help is necessary to deal with ongoing youth addiction issues.

Youth Addiction Treatment

When substance abuse epidemics hit the nation, we see a corresponding rise in the need for access to teen drug rehab programs. For this reason, top rehab organizations like Beaches Recovery offer age-specific treatment programs for teens. Addiction treatment experts design these programs to address addiction problems common to today’s teenager.

When necessary, kids get access to detox programs to help them get past troublesome withdrawal issues. Allowing a cleansing process is required to prepare these young patients for counseling. During counseling, teens get a chance to learn the truth about their specific addiction issues. They also get an opportunity to develop better coping skills to avoid future relapses.
