Types of Adolescent Alcohol Rehab - Alcoholism Treatment For Teens


There are many types of alcohol addiction treatment for teens. Treatment types are determined by the adolescent's level of use and other mental health and medical issues.

Detoxification, short-term and long-term rehabilitation, intensive outpatient programs, 12-step programs and individual, family and group therapy are all forms of alcohol addiction treatment. Some types of treatment such as detoxification may last one week whereas other such as long-term, residential alcoholism treatment can last 30 days or longer.

Each type of teen alcohol addiction treatment has its own advantages. Including parents in the teen’s alcoholism treatment is critical to success, so a good alcohol rehab includes parents and family in their addiction therapy programs . Detoxification might be needed if the teen is heavily dependent on alcohol.

When choosing a teen alcohol treatment program, it's important to ensure that the program is specifically for teens due to their developmental needs. Also, if the teen has mental health issues, the facility should be able to treat them at the same time. Some adolescent teen rehabs provide along side addiction treatment an educational program which will help your child in keeping their school credits while away from home in treatment.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction and is in need of help, Inspirations Teen Rehab offers a flexible and affordable teen addiction treatment program. Our aim is to treat the whole person, and not just an isolated symptom. During the addiction treatment process we will work with the teen to identify the factors that may have contributed to the alcohol abuse and addiction – home, friends and medical history. We also believe that families have a vital role to play in the recovery process, and each addiction treatment program has a place for family participation, to educate them in the treatment process and to equip them for their role as supporters.

Reach out to us. Recovery from addiction is just a click or a phone call away.

Maine Underage Drinking Crackdown

What is been a continuous problem with teens? That’s right. No matter what year it is or what the government sets as the age standards, underage drinking has always been a widespread concern with our youth. However for cities such as South Berwick and York, in Maine, things are about to change. Thanks to the increase funding things are about to change in Maine for teens who defiantly break the law with underage drinking.

The department of Health and Human Services, a part of the Maine Office of Substance Abuse was responsible for the extra funding grant. They recently provided fifteen law enforcement agencies with grants that will run for two years, until September 30, 2012. The grants were between $5,000-$10,000 dollars and were specifically to help enforce the underage drinking laws. These grants allow for extra patrol on the roads and special assignments on target nights like DUI check points on Halloween for example. The chief of police said that the end of the school year events like homecoming, sport events, and Friday nights are when the department will increase the surveillance on juveniles. Some of the funds will also be used to supplement their awareness programs for the local community. Research shows that alcohol kills more children than all the illegal drugs combined. This is a community problem and they hope to also prosecute those who are providing minors with alcohol.
