Drug and alcohol experimentation is common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become 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 drug problem it is better to handle it immediately and intervene as soon as possible. There are addiction rehab facilities for adolescents in a wide array of different settings.
There are programs in Santa Elena 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 they 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 very likely that locational factors trigger their substance abuse problem in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
