Teen Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Our Programs & Activities Will Guide Your Teen Through Rehab
As a parent, understanding your teen’s problems can be difficult. They change so much between the ages of 12–19 that alcohol use looks like a variety of teen issues. However, without professional teen alcohol addiction treatment, things will only get worse. Stopping these problems early keeps many life choices open for a better future. Fortunately, Destinations for Teens has a long history of treating adolescents and teens for substance use disorders like alcohol use and mental health conditions, which often contribute to alcohol addiction. We can guide parents and caregivers through recognizing alcohol use and finding the right treatments to address it in young people.
Exceptional, accessible care for teens and their families.
What Is Teen Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
During alcohol addiction treatment, specialists tailor your young person’s treatment plan to suit their individual needs. This treatment stops substance use disorder from further harming anyone in your family.
Without professional intervention, your teen’s drinking problem will only grow. In college and beyond, this problem tends to only worsen because of the availability of alcohol. As a young person, your teen still needs to learn effective coping skills. If their only reaction to stress remains drinking, that will be their path in the future.
Teen alcohol addiction treatment includes a wide variety of therapies needed to stop drinking. These therapeutic services teach adolescents how to build better relationships, overcome stress, and express themselves more effectively. They also gain a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection through physical fitness activities.
After treatment, your teen knows how to socialize within the family and among peers in healthier ways. They communicate better, use better listening skills, and feel more confident.
Does Your Teen Need Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
Teens can be hard to read. You’ve likely examined their body language, words, and actions closely over the past months as you try to figure out what’s going on in their lives.
Many signs of substance use disorder match symptoms of regular teen growth and development. However, pay close attention to changes in the following:
- Personal hygiene and appearance
- Health
- Eating habits
- Behavior
- Friend groups
- School grades
What Alcohol Treatment Is Like for a Teen
At first, your teen probably wants to avoid treatment for drinking. However, at their core, your teen feels as tired of chaos as you do. Alcohol addiction treatment at Destinations for Teens allows adolescents to begin recovery in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
The duration of treatment at our teen treatment centers usually depends on your teen’s specific needs. An individualized treatment plan gives you an idea of how long rehab will take. As a parent, however, you should look more at the benefits of teen substance use disorder treatment instead of the length of time.
Your teen undergoes a wide range of therapies in treatment, as part of a teen therapy philosophy. At Destinations for Teens, these include:
- Individual therapy
- Addiction Counselling
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Mindfulness and yoga
- Music and art therapy
