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