- Valium can cause anterograde amnesia (an inability to recall the recent past), which may persist as long as 6 months and may not ever fully return to normal after an individual stops taking the drug.
Adolescents - NorwichAs a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab program is often an overwhelming task. 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 a traditional drug treatment facility. Many specialized and age appropriate drug addiction treatment programs have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to substance abuse rehabilitation. 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.
