Adolescents in Idaho

Drug addiction and abuse among teens in Idaho has many drawbacks. Many people have had their path to success blocked by drug use. Abusing drugs from a young age also prevents the brain from growing fully, which further limits the individual.

Signs of Teen Drug Abuse

There are many signs that a teen is using drugs. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the pangs of adolescence and actual drug use, but parents can be proactive in talking to their teen to find out what's going on.

Some common signs of teen drug abuse include:

It's up to parents to initiate a conversation with their children if they suspect drug use. One in five parents who suspect their teen is using drugs do not intervene to prevent further drug use.

Parents can ask straightforward questions when said in the right tone. Simply asking, "Have you been using drugs or alcohol?" or "Has anyone offered you drugs recently?" can be enough to get the conversation started.

Responding to a teen's admittance or denial of drug use in the right away is just as important as asking the right questions.

What do you do if a Teen Admits or Denies Taking Drugs?

If a teen admits to taking drugs:

Parents shouldn't overreact if their teen comes clean about using drugs. Overreacting or lashing out can prevent a teen from opening up about their experience. Getting teens to talk is important to determine if their drug use was an one-time thing or if it's becoming a problem.

Parents should explain how they care about their child and the child's future. Teens who feel supported and loved are also more likely to stop experimenting with drugs or seek help if they have an addiction.

If a teen denies drug use:

Naturally, there is a possibility that teens may lie about their drug use. Parents should reassure their child that they are concerned and want to help.

If a teen continues denying using drugs but the parent still suspects untruthfulness, a home drug test or professional help can uncover a teen drug problem. Therapists, pediatricians and addiction specialists can help diagnose a teen drug problem.

Common Drugs that Teens Abuse

The most common drugs abused by teens aren't much different from those of adults. But the reasons for abuse may be different as teens often abuse a substance based on its accessibility. Teens are also more likely to take excessive amounts of drugs and alcohol because of how they perceive the risks and dangers.

a) Alcohol

Alcohol is the substance most commonly abused by teens. The social acceptance of drinking among people of legal drinking age can lead many teens to view alcohol as relatively harmless.

b) Marijuana

Regular marijuana users most often started during their adolescence. The perceptions of marijuana use among teens is changing; most seniors in high school do not think smoking marijuana occasionally carries any risk

c) Prescriptions and Over-the-counter Medications

Many prescription drugs have intoxicating effects, and this is no secret to most teens. Narcotic painkillers like OxyContin and benzodiazepines like Xanax produce pleasurable effects that teens may seek out.

Addiction Treatment for Teens

Many teens have a tough time dealing with sadness or other stresses common during adolescence. It is understandable that they may think having a drink or a little marijuana can offer relief. The best way to deal with stress, however, is to seek emotional support or find someone to talk to.

If a teen has already tried quitting or reducing use and failed, then it's important to receive treatment as soon as possible.

Most teen treatment centers also offer educational support so teens in recovery don't get behind in school. The earlier an addiction is recognized, the easier it is to treat.

Getting Help

If your son or daughter requires professional help, reach out to any of the rehab centers in Idaho and ensure they get competent, functional attention.
