Adolescents in Pennsylvania

While drug use trends and rates in Pennsylvania may vary from year to year, research shows that substance abuse remains a persistent and pressing problem for adolescents and young adults. What's more, this population tends to minimize the risk of substance use, which puts adolescents at greater risk for abusing alcohol or other drugs.

How Does Drug Use Affect the Teen Brain?

The brain continues to grow and evolve through the teenage years and into young adulthood, including the systems that govern emotions and impulses. Because these areas of the brain are not fully developed, adolescents and young adults are prone to take risks, seek out new sensations, and become easily influenced by their peers-all factors that can lead to alcohol or other drug use.

Drug use during this crucial developmental period can interfere with social development and compromise cognitive development. Research has shown, for example, that heavy marijuana use by teens can cause the loss of several IQ points, and that cognitive loss is not regained even if the teen stops using marijuana in adulthood. And because the teen brain is still developing, adolescents and young adults who use alcohol or other drugs are at risk of altering their brains in lasting ways, including a greater susceptibility to eventually developing addiction.

Teen substance abuse can also lead to high-risk behaviors that have lifelong impact. Engaging in unprotected sex, driving while intoxicated, acting aggressively or violently, or experiencing sexual assault can all change the course of a young person's life. Especially for teenagers, the potential for alcohol poisoning or drug overdose is also a serious concern.

Risk Factors Which Make Addictions in Teens Likelier

While not all teens or young adults who use alcohol, marijuana or other drugs will become addicted, there are risk factors that make the likelihood of addiction greater.

How Do You Know if Your Teen Is Addicted or Abusing Substances?

As a parent, it's important to trust your gut instincts on this along with recognizing the physical and behavioral signs and symptoms of possible teen drug abuse. Knowing these signs and symptoms can also help you determine whether professional counseling and help are needed. Even if it's not addiction, early intervention in adolescent alcohol or other drug use can prevent problems from occurring later.

Getting Help

If you suspect your teenage son or daughter is addicted to alcohol or other drugs, the best way forward is to seek professional help as quickly as possible. Have them admitted to any of the numerous drug rehab centers in Pennsylvania to ensure they regain control over their lives.
