Des Moines - Adolescents

As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation program can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug treatment centers have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to substance abuse rehabilitation. Treatment professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
