What is Teen Addiction Treatment?

A teen treatment recovery center could be just what your son or daughter needs to get back on track. Choosing a program specifically geared toward teens is the most successful method of helping them overcome their drug or alcohol dependence. Teens struggling with substance abuse – along with their parents and siblings – all benefit from addiction treatment designed specifically to help adolescents.

Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Options

Since every teen and every drug abuse situation is different, the treatment you pursue your son or daughter may vary.

Some substance abuse treatment options for teens include:

Counseling

Individual counseling focuses on overcoming substance abuse, building skills, following a recovery plan, and reaching social, family, and educational goals. Group counseling often accompanies individual counseling to reinforce the pursuit of recovery in a social environment. Counseling for teens often includes a family focus.

Inpatient and/or Partial Hospitalization

Programs that provide living accommodations for teens most often provide short-term treatment of a few days to a few weeks. The typical focus is on detoxification or medically managed withdrawal. Initial intensive treatment also helps prepare teens to return to a normal, yet responsible social life.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

An alternative to inpatient treatment is to undergo intensive outpatient care. Teens attend treatment sessions multiple times per week until they step down to regular outpatient treatment, which involves less frequent treatments as they work toward a full recovery.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

The right medications can reduce cravings and other withdrawal symptoms by blocking the rewarding sensations of using drugs, inducing negative feelings when taking drugs or occupying receptors in the brain associated with using drugs.

Holistic Rehabilitation Treatment

Alternative methods for treating drug and alcohol addiction include nutritional therapy, exercise, meditation, massage, and acupuncture. Bridging the gap between the body and the mind helps many teen patients overcome their addictions.

Peer Supporters Or Sponsors

These individuals can help your teenage son or daughter recover by sharing experiences from their own journeys toward recovery. With the help of someone who truly understands what they’re going through, teens are more likely to get motivated to overcome their addictions.
