Substance abuse experimentation is fairly common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become dangerous and affect the child's life due to increased risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a drug and alcohol problem it is better to address it immediately and intervene as soon as possible. There are substance abuse rehab facilities for teens in a variety of different settings.
There are treatment centers in Defuniak Springs 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 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 immersion type treatment and not be distracted by other things in life. If substance abuse has been a persistent problem, it is more than likely that locational factors trigger their substance abuse problem in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
