How to Solve the Problem of Teen Drug Abuse in your Home

Online, February 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - When you have a son or daughter who is abusing drugs, your life can seem like it is crashing down around you. More and more young people are using marijuana, cocaine, opiates and crystal meth today than ever before. It is often very sad to see your child succumb to the effects of drug addiction. You feel like you are failing as a parent. You feel like you are the cause for your son or daughter's teen drug abuse.

Inspirations Youth has been helping young people with their drug addictions for several years now. With thousands of teens successfully completing treatment and giving up drugs, the facility has been a clear success in helping families put the pieces back together again after a long hard road of dealing with substance abuse in the home. "We feel blessed to have the opportunity to change so many people's young lives for the better. The results we have created have been truly awe inspiring" said Chris Walsh, co-owner of Inspirations Youth. "When a young person arrives and they are hooked on drugs and their life is headed in a downward spiral, it is hard to convince them that everything will be ok, but it will be". Inspirations Youth has aided in the recovery of adolescents by including such fun activities as scuba diving, sports, music therapy and a good time.

What can you do? Many parents feel completely helpless and have no idea where to turn. It often feels like no matter what you do you cannot get your child to stop using drugs. It feels helpless, but you know people have successfully gotten off of drugs before. One of the most important things for a parent to remember is to always reassure your child that you love them and that while their behavior has you upset you will always love them. For many teens, feeling like their parents don't love them is a major cause for using drugs.

Chris Walsh plans on keeping his Inspirations Youth adolescent recovery program going for years to come. "When you love what you do you don't ever want to retire. Im a young man. You can expect me to keep doing this for years to come. It is just too rewarding" said Walsh. With the number of success stories under their belt it can be assumed that as a teen rehab Inspirations will continue to inspire those with a desire to get clean and stay off of drugs.
