Navigating how to handle discovering your child’s use of drugs and alcohol can be extremely challenging. Teen Rehab is sometimes used as a catchall term to describe many different levels of care available to families.
Those levels include:
Studies have proven that teens who complete teen residential treatment are more likely to have sustained positive outcomes over those who begin to address substance use disorder at any of the other levels of care. At Nexus, we take pride in addressing the root causes of the teens masking their emotions with substances. Furthermore, we educate them about the scientifically proven effects of drugs and alcohol on the developing brain. Addressing their choices at the emotional, physical, and intellectual levels empowers them to leave our facility better equipped to make radical changes to their behavior.
