Drug and alcohol experimentation is fairly common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become extremely problematic 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 soon as possible. There are drug treatment facilities for adolescents in a wide array of different settings.
There are treatment centers in Canaan which treat adolescents in a manner which they can continue their schooling at the same time, which would be considered an outpatient program. These programs deliver counseling and behavioral modification therapy to adolescents 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 individuals can benefit from full involvement type treatment and not be distracted by their peers. If substance abuse has been a persistent problem, it is more than likely that environmental factors trigger their substance abuse issue in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
