How to Spot a Bad Teen Drug Rehab Facility
May 26, 2010
1) Is it a teen specific program?
Although many adult facilities maintain that they can offer effective treatments to people of all ages, teens do far better in age specific programming. Teens do not have the same issues or problems as adults in recovery, and face a completely different set of developmental and recovery challenges. Your teen needs to recover in a teen specific rehab facility, no matter what adult rehabs may say about their ability to handle patients of all ages.
2) What is the level of family involvement?
Even while you child resides in a drug or alcohol rehab away from home you exert enormous influence, and parental involvement has been proven the single greatest influencing factor over the success of a teen in drug or alcohol rehab. Parental involvement cannot mean occasional phone calls, but should involve a committed and active participation in therapies and educational seminars within the rehab.
These whole family programs can help to heal the family, educate the family about the nature of addiction, and teach the family exactly how they can best support the recovering teen addict once back in the home.
3) What type of academic program is offered?
Many teens enter into a rehab significantly behind in school. No teen using and abusing drugs does well academically, and many teens in treatment need considerable remedial attention and one on one tutoring to catch up.
Teen drug rehab should never be a vacation from school, and teens need to fulfill their academic responsibilities while in treatment. The rehab should offer trained and experienced educators, able to manage classroom discipline and behavioral issues effectively.
