Common Questions About Our Adolescent Substance Abuse Program in Fresno

Some common signs of adolescent substance abuse include sudden changes in behavior, declining academic performance, loss of interest in hobbies or activities, secretive or deceitful behavior, changes in friend groups, unexplained mood swings, and physical signs such as bloodshot eyes, weight changes, or poor hygiene.

Factors contributing to adolescent substance abuse can include genetic predisposition, family history of addiction, exposure to substance use at home, peer pressure, mental health issues, low self-esteem, and a desire for experimentation or escapism.

Approach the conversation with empathy and openness, avoiding judgment or blame. Be prepared with accurate information about the dangers of substance abuse and emphasize your concerns for their well-being. Offer support and encouragement to help them make informed choices and seek help if necessary.

Effective treatments for adolescent substance abuse may include a combination of individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, peer support, educational programs, and medication-assisted treatment when appropriate. The key is to address the underlying causes of substance abuse and provide tools for coping and building a healthier, drug-free lifestyle.

If you suspect that your teenager is struggling with substance abuse, it’s important to seek professional help as soon as possible. Early intervention can increase the chances of successful recovery and prevent long-term consequences. Signs that professional help may be needed include continuous substance use despite negative consequences, inability to stop or control use, withdrawal symptoms, and worsening mental health issues.
