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 problem it is better to nip it in the bud immediately and intervene as aggressively as possible. There are drug rehabilitation facilities for teens in a variety of different settings.
There are programs in Shawnee which rehabilitate 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 involvement 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 environmental factors trigger their substance abuse issue in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
