- Physicians should identify the need for drug rehab in their patients and make appropriate referrals through the widespread use of screening, brief intervention and referral to drug rehab facilities.
- Youth aged 12-20 were more likely on a per capita basis than adults to have seen 66,218 alcohol ads in 2002, a 30% increase over the previous year.
- When "Methadone Treatment" was first put into use to treat opiate addiction, it was meant to be a 20-day process, although methadone treatment facilities are currently run based on their profitability which keeps individuals on methadone indefinitely.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab center can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, 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 addiction treatment centers have been developed to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to drug addiction recovery. Substance abuse professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
