Substance abuse experimentation is common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become dangerous and affect the child's future due to increased risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a substance abuse problem it is better to address it immediately and intervene as aggressively as possible. There are substance abuse rehab facilities for adolescents in a wide array of different settings.
There are rehabs in Philadelphia which rehabilitate adolescents in a manner which they can continue their education at the same time, which would be considered an outpatient program. These programs deliver counseling and behavioral modification therapy to teens on an individual and group basis 2-3 times per week. For adolescents requiring more aggressive intervention, there are programs that have inpatient and residential treatment so that the youth can benefit from full immersion type treatment and not be distracted by their peers. If drug and alcohol abuse has been a re-occuring problem, it is more than likely that locational factors trigger their substance abuse problem in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
