Drug and alcohol experimentation is fairly common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become problematic and affect the child's life due to increased risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a substance abuse problem it is better to nip it in the bud immediately and intervene as aggressively as possible. There are substance abuse rehab facilities for teens in a variety of different settings.
There are programs in Winterset 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 teens on an individual and group basis 2-3 times per week. For adolescents requiring more aggressive intervention, there are programs that offer inpatient and residential treatment so that they can benefit from full involvement type treatment and not be distracted by their peers. If substance abuse has been a persistent problem, it is very likely that environmental factors trigger their substance abuse issue in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
