Substance abuse experimentation is common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become dangerous and affect the child's life due to higher risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a substance abuse problem it is better to handle it immediately and intervene as soon as possible. There are addiction treatment facilities for teens in a wide array of different settings.
There are programs in Great Neck 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 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 involvement type treatment and not be distracted by their peers. If substance abuse has been a re-occuring problem, it is very likely that locational factors trigger their substance abuse issue in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
