Substance abuse experimentation is fairly common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become extremely problematic and affect the child's future due to higher risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a substance abuse problem it is better to address it immediately and intervene as quick as possible. There are substance abuse rehabilitation programs for teens in a variety of different settings.
There are treatment centers in Susanville which treat adolescents in a manner which they can continue their schooling at the same time, which would be considered an outpatient program. These programs deliver counseling and behavioral modification therapy to teens 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 the youth can benefit from full immersion type treatment and not be distracted by other things in life. If drug and alcohol abuse has been a re-occuring problem, it is more than likely that environmental factors trigger their substance abuse problem in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
