Drug Rehab Programs for Teens

Most teens are exposed to drugs by the age of 13, according to Dr. Paul Coleman. Those who experiment with drugs rarely do so with the intent of becoming addicted to the substance. Many are under the impression that trying drugs is fun and/or succumb to peer pressure. Parents should look for sudden changes in the teen's behavior, lack of sleep, sudden and erratic anger, missing of classes and poor grades as some of the signs of possible drug use.
