Teen Drug Rehab
Where does a family turn when their child has a drug addiction or substance abuse problem? Teen Drug Rehab programs offer hope and healing
for young people and their families who have seen their lives impacted by the specter of drugs and addiction. A professional teen drug
rehab program not only helps get the individual clean and sober, but also teaches them the skills needed to stay drug-free and live life
to the fullest once addiction treatment is complete.
Newport Academy offers both outpatient and residential teen drug rehab programs to help meet the unique needs of every young person who
enters through its doors. The result is stronger families and teens with everything to look forward to in the years following drug rehab.
Teen Alcohol Rehab
When a young person suffers from alcohol addiction, it can lead to a number of serious problems for themselves and their family. Teen alcohol rehab programs help these young people by providing treatment for the mind, body and spirit. Detox, counseling and aftercare address the physical and psychological components of alcoholism – and provide the tools young people need to get sober and stay that way well into adulthood.
Facts and Statistics about Teen Alcohol Abuse
The following information will help illustrate the seriousness of teenage drinking in the United States – and why it is more important than ever to help teens and adolescents find proper treatment.
- 11% of 8th graders, 22% of 10th graders and 27% of all 12th graders in the United States reported engaging in binge drinking in the past year.
- 50% of all high school seniors reported that they have drank alcohol in the past 30 days.
- In 2002, the U.S. Government reported that 2.8 million binge drinkers were between the ages of 13 and 18.
Teen OxyContin Treatment
One of the fastest growing addiction problems in the United States, Teen OxyContin Addiction has already claimed the lives of thousands
of young people and shows no signs of slowing down. Commonly teens are given OxyContin by a friend who assures them that because the
drug is prescribed by a doctor, it is safer than illicit street drugs. Few are prepared however for the powerful high to follow and
subsequently suffer from OxyContin addiction or overdose as a result. Teen OxyContin Treatment helps break the cycle of addiction to
this powerful drug.
At Newport Academy there is a strong emphasis on both the physical and psychological components of OxyContin addiction – as well as a
focus on the family; helping them heal and rebuild a strong bond between children, parents and siblings that have been threatened by
drug addiction.
Equine Assisted Therapy
The special bond that is developed between a horse and an adolescent girl oftentimes leads to amazing healing and personal growth. Horses have a unique ability and sensitivity to the feelings and emotional distress of individuals. It is in the human-horse relational context that the horse reflects back to the adolescent what it is feeling from the adolescent. With Equine Assisted Therapy, there exists opportunities for the development of caring and nurturing behaviors because the adolescent is required to be in the here-and-now with the horse.
Teen Eating Disorder Treatment
Teenagers often suffer silently with their eating disorders. Given that shame and self-image issues often play a role in the development of teen eating disorders, this isolation leads to the problem getting worse and worse over time. Parents who are able to recognize the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in their children must utilize every tool at their disposal to help them get well.
First and foremost among these tools are teen eating disorder treatment programs. Eating disorder treatment facilities can not only help the teenager regain good physical health, but will also enhance mental well-being – specifically by addressing the environmental issues (peer pressure, problems at home, sexual abuse, physical abuse) that have led to the unwanted behavior.
85% of the adolescents that have completed the Newport Academy program are still sober today.
