Drugs can have a devastating effect on a teenager’s life. Beyond the immediate risks of overdose from the toxic drug supply, one article in Psychology Today notes that illicit substances can impact the adolescent brain while it’s in its crucial stages of development, resulting in potential long-term health implications. The article adds that when addiction is not treated in a timely fashion, drugs can alter the brain’s neural pathways, and these changes will remain even after the teen has stopped using drugs.
For this reason, addiction is classified as a chronic brain disease by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), and it requires professional care to treat. However, Addiction Center notes that teenage addiction treatment must accommodate the distinct emotional and physical needs of adolescents, which is why treatment centers like Clearfork Academy have developed specialized programs tailored to teens struggling with drug use.
Clearfork Academy’s inpatient addiction treatment programs begin with a medically assisted drug detox. During this detox, the patient is monitored 24/7 to prevent the risk of relapse or harm until they are no longer dependent on any addictive substances, after which they transition into residential therapy programs.
Throughout their stay, the teen will participate in individual and group therapy sessions that are designed to address the root cause of their addiction; they will also be able to participate in recreational therapies, experiential outings, and faith-based treatments to help improve their well-being. Family involvement is also strongly encouraged through family therapy sessions, which will promote stronger communication between the patient and their parents.
For patients transitioning out of residential care or moderately addicted individuals who do not require 24-hour support, Clearfork Academy also offers intensive outpatient programs that allow teens to remain at home and continue with their academic and extracurricular obligations while receiving treatment for their addiction.
