The effective treatment of adolescents with substance abuse and behavioral disorders requires an approach that includes attention to every aspect of a young person’s life. We see every individual as a whole being. In addition to fully understanding the emotional, developmental, physical, psychological, familial, social and cultural factors, there must be appropriate resources in place to address these issues.

Teen Opiate Abuse

As professionals working in teen-drug-treatment-centers we see many adolescents coming into drug-treatment who have been abusing opiates. Opiates come from the Poppy plant. The Poppy plant produces a substance called opium. Many drugs that are being abused today by teens are made from Opium. Drugs like Oxycontin, Vicodine, Norco, Cheese and Heroin. Drugs like Oxy and Vicodine create a sense of well being, pleasure and a dream-like-state. There is a very high risk of addiction and overdose resulting in death for adolescent-drug-users.
