The teenage years—those oh-so-confusing transitional and formative years between childhood and adulthood—are ripe with possibility of drug abuse and drug addiction. The desire to fit in among peers, coupled with young brains that we know are not fully formed yet and are not yet capable of making correct judgements, all leave the door to drug use wide open. This is why it's imperative that parents pay close attention to their teens so they can recognize early indicators.
The most powerful clues that your teenager may be using drugs are sudden shifts in behavior patterns. A sudden change in friend group, a sudden drop in grades, or unmotivated bursts of anger or aggression should give parents pause. Also, a sudden increase or decrease in appetite, changes in sleep pattern, and apathy towards beloved activities are also signs.
Because teenage brains are ever-changing and because the needs of teenagers are unique, it's important to find a treatment program geared specifically towards adolescents. This will give your teen the best shot at getting clean and staying on the path to recovery. Alaska has multiple resources at your fingertips to help you choose the perfect program. Reach out today. Your child's future is bright, and it's up to you to make sure he or she lives to realize their full potential.
We have addiction treatment specialists available 24/7, ready to help you find the right treatment choice that meets your financial ability.
