Identifying a Need for Young Adult or Teen Drug Rehab
Young adults face unique pressures and experiences that can influence the development of drug and alcohol addiction. In recent years, drug and alcohol abuse has developed into a growing issue, with young adults experimenting with illicit substances at ages as early as 11 years old. Changes in academic performance, friendships and increasing troubling behavior are all signs that can indicate a growing substance abuse problem. Some may become more secretive, lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and lack motivation. Addiction can manifest in a number of ways and can negatively impact both the individual abusing illicit substances and their loved ones. If it is suspected that a loved one is abusing drugs and alcohol, it is important to start a rehab program immediately in order to combat the negative consequences substance abuse can inflict on physical and mental health in addition to relationships.
