Facts
- Marijuana use impairs short-term memory and judgment and distorts one's perception.
- There is a massive gap between those who need drug rehab and those who actually receive it, and efforts to reduce this gap must include increasing access to treatment, achieving insurance parity, reducing stigma, and raising awareness regarding the value of drug rehab.
- The current increases in rates of nonmedical use of prescription drugs has resulted in increased emergency room visits, accidental overdoses, and drug rehab treatment admissions for drug addiction.
- Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment program can be overwhelming and frightening. Unfortunately, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional treatment in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug treatment facility. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehabilitation facilities have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to drug addiction rehabilitation. Substance abuse professionals who are skilled in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
