Adolescents - IthacaAs a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab facility can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend a traditional drug rehabilitation center. Many specialized and age appropriate drug addiction treatment facilities have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to drug addiction rehabilitation. Treatment professionals who are skilled in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
