Teen Substance Abuse Treatment

Substance abuse is the use of drugs- prescription or illicit-expressly for the psychological and physical effects they produce. Substance abuse among young people poses significant health risks because a young person’s physiognomy has not fully developed. Drug use affects internal organs, the central nervous system and brain. These effects are often permanent. Individuals between 12 and 17 who abuse drugs are more likely to become addicted to drugs as adults. There is no such thing as innocuous drug abuse. A young person who uses substances to cope or to fit or just to get by will always be found out. His grades will slip, his relationships will deteriorate. He will become furtive and irritable. He’ll develop acne. His eating habits will fluctuate wildly.

The Social Therapeutic Approach

At White River Academy, we incorporate several different forms of therapy for our students, including a social therapeutic approach. This approach incorporates the idea that a positive social environment is important to develop individuals with disorders to enable them to live productive lives. This approach also incorporates a sense of public service, with which all students fulfill their duty according to their areas of talent. This form of therapy is most often group related, though proponents claim it is different from group therapy. It examines what physical, social and spiritual requirements are necessary for such a community to grow as a team and thrive.
