Teen Alcohol And Drug Rehab Centers In Nevada

Drugs and alcohol dependence are hardly regional issues – they are nationwide ones. And when it comes to those who are challenged by substance abuse, another common misconception is that adults are the only ones that are affected. That’s hardly the case, as teens and adolescents are arguably just as – if not more – susceptible to the affects of drugs and alcohol. A large part of this is because youngsters are generally smaller in stature, which translates to a lesser tolerance than adult users. Hence, the effects of such substances can take action much quicker, leading teens and adolescents down a potentially much more dangerous path.

Yes, substance abuse is a nationwide issue impacting people of all different ages, like teens and adolescents – and the state of Nevada is no exception. In fact, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), it’s estimated that as many as 11,000 residents ages 12 to 17 have used an illicit drug in the past month. Furthermore, it’s estimated that some 13,000 Nevada residents of the same age consumed alcohol in the past month. Additionally, SAMHSA data suggests that some 4,000 residents ages 12-17 have abused or become dependent on alcohol in the past year, where about 4,700 have been identified as abusing or becoming dependent on drugs within the past year.

Thankfully, many more states – including Nevada – are recognizing the growing problem with teens and substance abuse and are opening rehabilitation centers or targeting treatment programs for this demographic.

Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment in Nevada

According to SAMHSA, it’s estimated that 4,300 Nevada residents ages 12 to 17 have been identified as needing treatment for drugs, but aren’t receiving it. Additionally, about 3,800 residents of the same age have been identified as needing treatment for alcohol, but aren’t receiving it. This brings us to one of the main differences between treating adults and teens for substance abuse – usually, teens and adolescents aren’t seeking treatment because they want to, but because a parent or guardian is making them do it. Noting this, treatment has to be presented in a way that reflects these and other issues. That’s why adolescent treatment for substance abuse normally involves a focus on academics and heavily involves the individual’s family in the recovery process.
