12 Step Treatment and Recovery
Sometimes the best bet for a teen who has surrounded him or herself with a negative and destructive peer group is to give them a strong head start in a residential program. Many parents do not know enough about the 12 steps or the programs that use them, and they often conclude these programs are for "winos" or "hard-core addicts." The prejudices and misinformation surrounding the "Anonymous" programs are best tossed aside. These programs have shown by far the greatest success in helping people maintain long-term sobriety.

Teen Residential Drug Rehab or Alcohol Treatment
Residential treatment is often the last stop for an out-of-control substance-abusing teenager. It offers a "time out" from situations that trigger self-destructive behavior, a chance to experience predictable and consistent consequences of behavior, an opportunity to participate in community, and for family bonds to be repaired. In the process, self-esteem -- the major antidote to alcohol and drug use – is increased.
