Nothing will interrupt a young person’s life faster than an alcohol or drug addiction. As a parent, your number one concern has to be your child’s welfare, especially as a young adult. In the case where you are a young adult, you might find yourself missing opportunities that could make a tremendous impact on your life. In either case, a teen treatment center offers numerous benefits.
Teen Addiction Statistics
Based on a 2013 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration study, more than half of the 2.8 million new illicit drug users were under 18-years old. They also found that nearly 23% of people between 18–20 reported using illicit drugs within a 30-day period prior to the study. These statistics indicate that teen drug use is prevalent.
