Adolescents - Upper Kalskag, Alaska

As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation center is often an overwhelming task. 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 rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehab programs have been created to focus on adolescents and their specific requirements pertaining to substance abuse treatment. Treatment professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your child and guide them through their recovery process.
