An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one, or often many, people (usually family and friends) to get the teenage drug abuser to seek professional help with an addiction or some kind of traumatic event or crisis. The term intervention is most often used when the traumatic event involves addiction to drugs or other items. Intervention can also refer to the act of using a technique within a therapy session.

It is hard sometimes to accept the fact that your child who was so sweet just a few years ago is now addicted to drugs and dependent on their substance or substances of choice. Addiction is typically not associated with being a teenager. When we think of addicts, we picture the alcoholic who has been drinking for over 20 years, or the street addict who panhandles for money to buy drugs. When your child is showing signs of teen drug abuse, tough decisions need to be made. Often times your efforts will produce no results, and your child will continue to abuse drugs.

Mental Health

Treatment Resources’ goal is to provide the treatment and support services needed by adults with mental health concerns and children with serious emotional problems. Almost 50 million adults in the US are affected by mental illness yearly, and more than 5 million adults and children are diagnosed with a mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression.

People with serious mental illnesses often need assistance with finding treatment, housing, aftercare planning, follow up and other aspects of treatment process.

Mental illness can be treated effectively, and people can and do recover. Most people with mental illnesses experience success at work, raise healthy families, and live in harmony with their neighbors. However, recovery depends on getting services when and where they are needed-preferably early in the course of the onset of the illness.

Substance Abuse

Many people use alcohol and other drugs. Some develop serious problems which require professional help, such as inpatient detox, residential treatment, outpatient treatment, twelve step programs, and dual diagnosis units. Other psychiatric disorders often co-exist with substance abuse problems and need assessment and treatment.

There are a variety of substance abuse treatment programs and the decision to get treatment is very difficult. We can help you find the right resource to explore.

Detox

Alcohol and most drug addictions require detoxification before beginning treatment and recovery. An individual needs to be clean and medically stable in order to fully participate in the treatment process.

Detox is provided in a licensed medical facility, usually a hospital or at a treatment center and includes emotional stabilization. The time required for detoxifying varies depending on the individual and what substance is involved. Trying to detox without the proper professional help is very dangerous and can lead to serious physical, psychological and emotional distress.
