Often, parents and other adults can notice signs that a teen is involved with drug abuse and might need assistance well before the situation becomes serious. The main thing would be to intervene without delay, and never wait until the problem is more serious, and as a result many severe consequences might be avoided. Teen drug addiction treatment may either be provided inside a drug and alcohol rehab program which treats clients of any age, or perhaps in a drug rehabilitation facility which specifically addresses teen drug addiction. The second is usually preferred, because this will make sure that the individual receives the appropriate quantity of attention and that rehab professionals can focus on the needs of these youths which can be very different than their adult counterparts. There are a variety of different settings in which teen drug addiction treatment can take place, including therapeutic communities, residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs, wilderness programs, and also bootcamp type facilities. Teen drug addiction treatment will frequently include one-on-one counseling, group counseling with their peers, and many different rehabilitation services geared towards addressing the challenges and issues which relate to a teen's life particularly.
