Adolescents in Massachusetts

Teens in Massachusetts who abuse drugs may have a greater risk of developing an addiction when they are adults. However, it's important to know the difference between drug abuse and addiction. Many teens experiment with drugs, but aren't addicted.

Teen Drug Experimentation

Half of all new drug users are under the age of 18. Experimentation plays the biggest role in teenage drug use. However, experimentation is a fact of life and just because a teen has tried drugs or alcohol doesn't mean they will become an addict. It's more important to understand why some teens are tempted to experiment.

Common reasons teens abuse drugs include:

The majority of adults with an addiction first experimented with drugs before they turned 21. The good news is that the rates of teenage drug abuse have been declining. If you think your teen is using drugs, there are teen addiction treatment options available.

Family-Based Therapies in Outpatient Rehab

a) Family Behavioral Therapy

Therapy sessions improving communications skills between teens and parents. The goal is to create a healthier, drug-free home environment. Parents and teens receive prizes like cash vouchers after meeting each treatment goal.

b) Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT)

Twelve to sixteen therapy sessions targeting drug abuse in the family. It can be practiced in outpatient treatment, during inpatient treatment or as post-rehab care.

c) Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT)

Blended family- and community-based treatment for troubled or violent teens. MDFT sessions connect families with a school or the juvenile justice system so all parties can work together to help addicted teens recover.

Alternative Options for Recovery Support

a) Assertive Continuing Care (ACC)

A doctor-assisted recovery program hosted at addicted teens' homes. ACC helps build problem-solving and communication skills to help recovering teens stay healthy.

b) Peer Recovery Support Services

Community centers for recovering teens. Support services connect teens with peer leaders who have experience overcoming addiction.

c) Recovery High Schools

High schools created to educate recovering teens. Students are surrounded by peers continuing drug addiction recovery in a controlled environment. Recovery high schools are often included as a supplement to formal teen addiction treatment like behavioral or family-based therapies.

Inpatient and Outpatient Addiction Treatment

Many teen addiction treatment options are outpatient programs. This means addicted teens stay home with their families during treatment and recovery.

Family support is often crucial for a teen's long-term recovery. Outpatient programs typically include parents and siblings in addiction treatment exercises. This helps the whole family heal and prevent the recovering teen from relapsing.

Inpatient treatment programs offer 24-hour care to families battling teen drug addiction. Doctors treat life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, and therapists teach teens how to quit using. Many treatment centers offer programs specifically for teens.

Determining whether inpatient or outpatient treatment is right for your family depends on many factors, including what drug is being used and the severity of the addiction. Whatever your teen's needs, help is available to overcome addiction.

Getting Help

If your son or daughter is hooked on drugs, it is vital that you act swiftly. Reach out to one of the multiple rehab centers in Massachusetts so they can regain control of their lives ASAP.
