Adolescents - Long Island

As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab 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 a traditional drug rehabilitation center. Many specialized and age appropriate drug treatment programs have been developed to focus on adolescents and their distinct needs pertaining to drug addiction treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your loved one and guide them through their recovery process.
