FDH Provides Your Teen with the Help They Need


Did you know that, by the time they become seniors in high school, around 70% of teens have tried alcohol and around 50% have tried marijuana? Research has demonstrated that the earlier teens begin using substances, the greater the chance that they develop substance use problems as adults. Additionally, teen substance use can be detrimental to brain growth and development and often coincides with other high-risk behaviors.


It's important to address any substance use (including drinking) early on to prevent the issue from escalating. Even if your teen has been using substances and engaging in high-risk behaviors for a while, though, there is still help available. It’s never too late to get your child the help they need.


What to Look for as a Parent


As a parent, you may have noticed changes in your teen. These changes may include:


·      Mood swings

·      Withdrawing from relationships and activities

·      Poor hygiene

·      Falling grades

·      Staying out late and sneaking out

·      Hanging out with a different crowd

·      Lethargy

·      Lying


You may have tried to talk with them, but they were unreceptive. You also may have tried to get them the help they need by enrolling them in a residential or outpatient treatment program, only to get poor results. This can leave you feeling exhausted and discouraged. There may be an option you haven’t tried or even considered, though…in-home treatment.


If you are looking for comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that provides your teen with a higher level of care and offers them the individual attention that they need from the comfort of your own home, you’ll want to consider Front Door Health.
