Question by delila f: Is it true that there are more teens to be found in drug rehabilitation centers than adults?
I have a friend who has just gotten out of inpatient rehabilitation and he has told me that there are a lot of other teens spending their time there. I was just wondering why this is.

Answer by dariana b
I think the reason why there were more teens spending their time in the drug rehabilitation center that your friend has just gotten out of is the fact that teens are more likely to get themselves addicted to drugs. Peers play a very important role with regard to whether a teen will start taking drugs or not. Those who don’t do drugs during their teenage years are also less likely to start taking it when they grow older. Every day, around 4,800 Americans under the age of 18 try marijuana for the first time. This is why the government and other organizations are trying to prevent more teens from taking drugs.

Anti-Alcohol PSA Video For Teens

Anti-Alcohol PSA Video For Teens. From the public domain. Alcoholism is a chronic disease that makes your body dependent on alcohol. You may be obsessed with alcohol and unable to control how much you drink, even though your drinking is causing serious problems with your relationships, health, work and finances. It’s possible to have a problem with alcohol, but not display all the characteristics of alcoholism. This is known as alcohol abuse, which means you engage in excessive drinking that causes health or social problems, but you aren’t dependent on alcohol and haven’t fully lost control over the use of alcohol. Although many people assume otherwise, alcoholism is a treatable disease. Medications, counseling and self-help groups are among the therapies that can provide ongoing support to help you recover from alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease. It is often diagnosed more through behaviors and adverse effects on functioning than by specific medical symptoms. Only 2 of the diagnostic criteria are physiological (those are tolerance changes and withdrawal symptoms). Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are associated with a broad range of medical, psychiatric, social, legal, occupational, economic, and family problems. For example, parental alcoholism underlies many family problems such as divorce, spouse abuse, child abuse and neglect, welfare dependence, and criminal behaviors, according to government sources.
