Cliff Island, ME. - AdolescentsAs a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation facility is often an overwhelming task. Unfortunately, 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 a traditional drug treatment facility.
