Drug and alcohol experimentation is common during adolescence. If the problem persists however, adolescent substance abuse can become problematic and affect the child's life due to higher risks of high school drop-out, adult addiction etc... If a parent knows of a drug problem it is better to nip it in the bud immediately and intervene as quick as possible. There are drug treatment programs for adolescents in a variety of different settings.
There are rehabs in Newark Valley 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 they can benefit from full engagement type treatment and not be distracted by other things in life. If substance abuse has been a persistent problem, it is very likely that locational factors trigger their substance abuse problem in which case inpatient/residential treatment is the ideal option.
