Targeting The Root of Addiction  

It can be distressing for parents to watch their teen struggle with drug addiction. Teens are in a vulnerable period of development, making them more susceptible to drug and alcohol abuse. It’s important for parents to be mindful of the signs their teen could be abusing drugs and alcohol in order to provide early intervention and proper support. 

Some of the most common drugs teenagers abuse include: 

  • Alcohol 
  • Marijuana
  • Stimulants (“study drugs”)
  • Psychedelics 
  • Opioid painkillers 
  • Benzodiazepines
  • Nicotine

    At Clearfork Academy, we understand the complex nature of substance abuse in adolescence. Teens face unique challenges such as peer pressure, identity exploration, and academic stress that can complicate treatment and their recovery. We provide evidence-based therapies, medication management, outdoor adventure activities, and peer support to help teens in the DFW area find joy and purpose in recovery.

Levels of Care Offered 

Clearfork Academy tailors treatment for drug addiction to the unique needs of each teen we serve. However, there are levels of care and some general steps that our treatment center follows:

  • Detox: The process of removing drugs and alcohol from the body. This is done in a supervised medical setting to monitor your child’s health. Medications may be provided to reduce cravings or ease withdrawal symptoms. 
  • Residential Treatment: We offer inpatient rehab in a structured setting to help teens focus on their long-term recovery. It involves individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy and other support services to help address the root of addiction and build healthy coping strategies for the future.
  • Partial Hospitalization Program: Our PHP functions as a midpoint for teens who are ready to move beyond full-time residential treatment, but could still benefit from a more intensive support structure. This model allows teens to continue their recovery while transitioning to their regular home and school environment.
  • Intensive Outpatient: Our intensive outpatient program provides a balanced approach to substance abuse treatment, allowing teens to live at home while still receiving treatment. IOP can serve as a step-down after completion of residential and PHP, or as a step-up from traditional outpatient therapy. It focuses on your teen’s emotional growth and implementing skills development

11.2% of overdose deaths are 15 to 24 year olds.  

Dual Diagnosis Program for Teens

Nearly 70% of teens with a substance use disorder struggle with co-occurring mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Addressing addiction effectively means addressing the underlying factors that contribute to substance abuse in teens.

Our mental health component focuses on treating these emotional challenges alongside addiction with targeted mental health treatments such as CBT, DBT, group therapy, and EMDR.  We emphasize healthy coping skills to resist urges, manage cravings, and cope with triggers so your teen can stay away from drugs or alcohol for good.

Teen Drug Addiction Treatment FAQs

If your teenager is reluctant to enter treatment, it can help to clearly explain the dangers and consequences of addiction for their health, school, and social life. If you need extra support, our expert team of staff can offer advice and guidance about how to proceed.

Supporting a teenager with substance addiction isn’t always easy. Our treatment programs involve family therapy to help family members understand how they can best support their teen to stay sober. Contact us today for more information.

If you’re unsure whether your teen needs rehab, call us today, and we will provide your teen with a comprehensive substance abuse assessment and mental health evaluation. Clearfork Academy can offer expert advice and guidance by phone or in person. In general, it’s best for your teen to attend rehab to recover from substance abuse and lay the foundations for a sober future before the problem gets more severe.

Addiction and substance abuse can happen to anyone: there is no one way to fully protect your child from drug abuse. At the same time, there are certain steps you can take to make it less likely, such as education in schools or at home.

Yes, rehab does work! Many teenagers who attend a rehab program will achieve life-long recovery. Even if a teenager relapses, we do not see it as a failure but as an opportunity to develop new skills and develop further resilience.

Recovery is an ongoing process that requires dedication and, most importantly, support. Your teen can be encouraged to join recovery meetings and aftercare workshops as well as explore sober ways to have fun. To support this process, we’ll provide each teen with a comprehensive aftercare plan.

While there is no cure for drug addiction at any age, it is possible to achieve life-long recovery. Our teen addiction treatment programs use evidence-based approaches to address the causes of addiction and promote lasting abstinence.

There are plenty of self-help techniques and groups out there to support the recovery process. However, they do not constitute a replacement for treatment but rather complement it. If you’re looking for additional resources, our staff can direct you to useful, evidence-based techniques and support groups.
