Substance abuse experimentation is common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become problematic and affect the child's future due to increased risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a drug problem it is better to handle it immediately and intervene as quick as possible. There are drug and alcohol treatment facilities for teens in a wide array of different settings.
There are programs in Little Rock which treat adolescents in a manner which they can continue their education at the same time, which would be considered an outpatient program. These programs deliver counseling and behavioral modification therapy to adolescents on an individual and group basis 2-3 times per week. For adolescents requiring more aggressive intervention, there are programs that have inpatient and residential treatment so that individuals can benefit from full engagement type treatment and not be distracted by their peers. If substance abuse has been a re-occuring problem, it is very likely that environmental factors trigger their substance abuse issue in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
