Teenagers Who Need Drug Treatment

Warning signs for drug abuse can be difficult to spot in teenagers because sudden changes in friends, appearance, and mood are normal during the adolescent years. Suspecting something may be wrong and then choosing not to act on that instinct only prolongs the problem. You must be proactive in communicating concerns to your children about their well-being. Armed with research, respectful and compassionate methods for confrontation, and a zero tolerance policy for drug use, parents must take the lead in recognizing when drug treatment may be necessary.

The Canyon provides education about the impact of alcohol or drug addiction on the family as well as the challenges that arise for the family when a client begins the recovery process. Our qualified staff comprised of expert interventionists, addiction counselors, individual and family therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists are available for every need that may arise - before, during, or after treatment.

Behavioral Signs Your Teenager May Need Drug Treatment

Rarely are behavioral changes noticeable overnight. Rather, warning signs for drug abuse progress gradually as dependence and tolerance for the drug increases. Some common indicators include:

  • Unexplained changes in friends or clothing preferences
  • Extreme mood swings
  • Defensiveness about privacy/ lying when confronted
  • Disrespectful conduct/ problems with the law
  • Heavy use of incense, air fresheners, eye drops, mouthwash or breath mints
  • Borrowing or stealing money, personal possessions, prescriptions drugs, or alcohol

Additionally, physical signs of drug use include red or glassy eyes, runny nose, change in appetite or weight, or stains on hands, mouth or nose from using inhalants (paints, nail polish, correction fluid, etc.)

Finding Paraphernalia May Indicate That Your Teenager Needs Drug Treatment

Drug paraphernalia includes any object or accessory utilized for drug consumption:

  • Pipes, water pipes (bongs), hookahs, rolling papers, rolling machines
  • Miniature spoons, butane lighters, syringes, needles
  • Oily rags, paper or plastic sandwich bags
  • Medicine bottles or packaging (cough syrup, diet pills, prescription bottles)

Teenagers are notorious for creating homemade paraphernalia out of everyday household objects. Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, pieces of pipe or tubing can all be fashioned for using drugs.

What To Do If You Think Your Teenager Needs Drug Treatment

A drug test from your family's doctor or reputable lab can determine if your child has been using drugs recently. If the test comes back normal, but all other behavioral indicators still alert your suspicions, the next logical step is to seek counseling - both for your teen and as a family group.

When a drug test comes back positive, an intervention may be necessary if your teen denies any drug use, becomes violent or verbally abusive, or threatens to inflict harm either on themselves or others.
