Teens Turning To Drugs To Handle Depression
Teen angst, acting out, troubled teens; these are terms used for teenagers when they are not doing well. This is because it has become increasingly popular for teenagers to self medicate their depression, anger and anxiety with illegal drugs. In fact, 3 out of every 4 high school students have consumed alcohol by the end of their senior year, 50% of teens admit to trying an illegal drug by the time they have graduated high school and over 25% of teenagers have been offered, sold, or given an illegal drug by someone on school property.
This means, that while most children experience the seemingly required growing pains during their teen years; drug use has become the solution.
In order to prevent lifetime drug abuse, it is vital for parents to enroll their children in an effective drug rehab. One rehab that has garnered much success in the rehabilitation of teens, and offers their services on an outpatient basis, is Narconon Louisiana. This drug rehab allows teens to work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem or problems, drugs and alcohol were solutions for in the first place. This non-traditional program’s viewpoint on handling drug addiction allows children to address the key mental and emotional issues that lead to their addiction so that they can live drug free, stably and happy.
In addition to handling the reason behind the addiction, Narconon Louisiana also handles the inevitable cravings that an addict experiences that are notorious for preventing a person from maintaining sobriety. The drug rehab tackles this problem by enrolling students in a dry-heat sauna program that allows the drug residues that build up in the system to release from the body and helps to drastically reduce physical drug cravings.
The Narconon program is a pioneer in the field when it comes to handling addiction and achieves a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.
Don’t let a depression problem with your teenager turn into a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse. Call Narconon Louisiana today at 866-422-4650 for more information. Help is available.
