Teen Drug Rehabs
Teen drug rehabs offer specialized treatment for adolescents who have substance abuse problems. The type of addiction treatment needed by teens is very different from adult addiction treatments because teens are still developing emotionally, physically, and intellectually. As a parent, it is important to seek a program that continues your child's education whlie they are in recovery so they do not get further behind in school.
SunHawk Academy, a teen residential treatment program in a boarding school setting, helps teens recover from their substance abuse while encouraging them to grow both emotionally and academically.
Excel Academy, a sober boarding high school in Texas, helps teens achieve more academically than they ever dreamed possible. Their focus on true intellectual growth while in recovery from alcohol or drug abuse helps teens feel empowered and hopeful about their future.
Many parents have also been very pleased with the successes of their teens after a wilderness experience. Specialized wilderness programs such as SUWS help teens get back to basics and really look at their behavior. Mother Nature is a powerful teacher who can not be manipulated by defiant teens. Some wilderness programs offer specialized teen asubstance abuse ttracks - such as Sagewalk, a wilderness school that was featured on ABCs reality series Brat Camp.
A unique approach to teen behavioral problems is taken by Outback wilderness treatment program in Utah. They use metaphors of the Australian outback's "walkabouts" to help teens see their wilderness journey as an internal journey toward healthy self-reliance.
Whatever approach you choose for your teen, be sure to ask the admissions staff how they approach substance abuse and what they do to help teens develop the character and strength to resist peer pressure when they return home. Independent studies have shown that teens make significant improvements in these therapeutic programs, and that these improvements last over time.
