Teen Addiction Intervention

Teen Addiction & Intervention

Our intervention professional services are highly successful in helping families of teens and young adults who are struggling with a young person's addiction. Many in the interventionist field are trained in helping teens and young adults, but our team has a unique edge in that Karen Franklin, our Adolescent and Young Adult Interventionist specializes in this area as she has personal experience as a parent in dealing with both teen and young adult addiction in her own family.

Addiction is a fatal Disease of the Body and an Obsession of the Mind. It must be taken seriously, especially when it involves our young people. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that teens who start drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop an alcohol addiction than those who do not begin drinking before the legal age of 21. The same goes for illegal drug use.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has released startling information. The numbers vary by year, and different drugs seem to fall in and out and out of favor with experimental youths, but one thing always stays the same – More teens than not are experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Almost half of all high school seniors in America have experimented with illegal drugs and about three quarters have tried alcohol. The following statistics speak to the severity of the problem:

1. There are 47 million school age kids in America, currently over 27 million of them try drugs and alcohol each year.

2. More than 60% of teens stated that drugs were sold, used or kept at their school.

3. One in every five teenagers has abused a prescription pain, stimulant or tranquilizer medication. Approximately 64% of those teens that have abused prescription painkillers have stolen them from friends and relatives.

4. By the 8th grade, 52% of teens have consumed alcohol and 20% have used marijuana, by twelfth grade that number increases to 72% for alcohol and 47% for marijuana.

5. In the past few years, methamphetamine use has dramatically increased in teenagers from 12 to 17 years old. The Internet currently provides hundreds of websites that provide recipes and places to purchase ingredients.

6. Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for all persons age 6–33. About 45% of these fatalities are alcohol-related crashes.

"If a teen drinks or takes drugs more than once, it is no longer experimentation".
