Altoona, IA. - Adolescents

As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation 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 treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your child and guide them through their recovery process.
