Anyone can develop a drug addiction, but, in some ways, teens are more susceptible and may need drug rehab. They deal with peer pressures that make them try new drugs to fit in with the “crowd.”
In fact, there are many reasons why teens might turn to drugs or alcohol. For example, they could get caught up in drugs because they’re self-medicating to cope with undiagnosed mental health issues. Whatever the reason, it’s important to get help if your teen is struggling with substance abuse.
Teen brains are also still developing, and they are unsure of themselves. They take criticism more personally and look for ways to feel better. A teen lacks mature judgment that might make an adult walkway from smoking, drug, or alcohol use.
Also, the earlier someone starts using drugs, the more likely it is that they continue into adulthood. Maybe they don’t develop a substance use disorder while they are young, but they may later in life and need drug rehab as adults.
