An Overview of Our Individual Counseling for Teen Drug & Alcohol Abuse

Teen Substance Abuse CounselingAs part of our drug and alcohol abuse counseling services, one of our qualified counselors will work with the client and the client’s family to develop a comprehensive plan to treat both the abuse/addiction and the social and emotional issues tied to that abuse/addiction. This substance abuse treatment plan may include participation in a 12-step support group, social functions to encourage sobriety and positivity, as well as any other activities that will aid in improving the young person’s recovery.

The first stage of substance abuse counseling is to identify signs of drug or alcohol use, and to address behaviors that put a teen or young adult at risk. Once these factors are considered and addressed counseling can help a patient to understand the science and emotions behind addictions, as well as provide tools for recovery. Individual counseling is also an important option to consider for those who have already completed inpatient, outpatient, or residential treatment for substance abuse but may be at a high risk of relapse.
