Rehabilitation Programs for minors

Inspiration’s Teen Drug  Rehab Treatment

Inspirations’ addiction treatment program allows the adolescent to work through many emotional conflicts within the safe boundaries of our facility. Adolescents move through levels and are assisted in developing living skills, interpersonal skills and relapse prevention skills. In addition to the regular program, adolescents attend special workshops designed to meet their needs and attend on-site tutorial services to help them reach their educational goals. The setting at Inspirations is designed for our Adolescent Program by allowing room for exploration, meditation, and activities geared toward the high energy level of teens.

Inspirations program provides treatment for adolescent patients whose addictive disease, emotional and behavioral problems prevent adequate functioning in a less restrictive setting. It is the philosophy of the staff at Inspirations that these behaviors are symptoms of deeper problems that may include difficulties in the emotional life of the adolescent and in his/her family and peer group. This philosophy promotes the provision of a secure, structured environment to address chemical dependence, inclusive of these difficulties while encouraging independence and self esteem for the adolescent. It further promotes that every effort be made to involve the family in an intensive family program, as all members of the family are adversely affected by chemical dependency.

Teen Drug Rehab Program, Services, Treatment Team and Planning Process

Inspiration’s multidisciplinary treatment team is led by licensed therapists and is composed of master level mental health counselors and social workers, addiction therapist, nursing staff, recreational therapist, and educational staff. All treatment is overseen by a board certified adolescent psychiatrist.

Inspirations treatment team meets twice a week and is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the course of treatment for each patient. The team develops a comprehensive treatment plan that is individualized and meets all the needs of the patient. The plan also includes discharge criteria as well as aftercare plans. Parents, guardians and referral agencies are critical components of the treatment and aftercare process and their participation is highly encouraged. The patient is also an integral part of the planning process and may at times be included in the team meeting.

Teen rehab programs are designed to treat more than just addiction; they also treat any additional related needs the patient may have. Substance abuse affects many aspects of a user's life, including brain function and behaviors. Rehabilitation treatment is designed to address these effects of substance abuse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), studies since the 1970s have shown that treatment is generally effective in stopping drug use in users. These studies have also shown that treatment prevents relapse and enables users to resume sober lifestyles after treatment.

The biggest part of treatment in a teen rehab facility will be counseling. Through therapy, the addict will learn the skills needed to stay sober. Counseling uses various methods to help the addict overcome his or her addiction and take control again. source
