Teen rehabilitation centers have always asserted that parents have a stellar role to play in making sure that their children turn out to be great citizens and achievers in life. But today in spite of technology improving by leaps and bounds, the channels of communications between the parents and teen has greatly weakened. Today a mother may say that she can be in touch with her son through video conferencing across the seven seas, but does she really have an idea about what he is up to, all day long? Today a teen tends to confide more to an anonymous friend online, someone whom she does not even know what he looks like. Teen drug rehabs aim to bridge the gap between parents and children which is why they have programs like multidimensional family therapy (MDFT) where parents are also asked to participate in the teen rehabilitation. Today, there is no limit to the route a teen can possibly take when it comes to substance abuse. Most elders are shocked to know that teens have experienced them all or most of them; something that they had never done in their own teenage. From taking Ecstasy in the fancy, foot-loose bars to secretly popping in prescription drugs without checking with the doctors; they are doing it all. Parents have to be careful and keep all their senses alert to notice any warning signs that their children can exhibit that can alert them that they need to be rehabilitated. Look for some of the behavioral changes in teens. For instance, some of the obvious physical signs include droopy eyes, pale skin, inability to sleep, hallucinations, memory loss, stained lips and teeth etc. The behavioral signs include staying with friends that are not the usual ones, staying locked in the room or taking too much time in the toilet and wearing full-sleeved shirts to hide the injection marks caused by paraphernalia that is used to inject drugs in the blood stream. It has been seen that teens usually resort to taking drugs while they come back from school and the parents are at work As a caring parent, you need not be excessively strict with your kid. But you should monitor their moves. In case, you are suspicious and have proof, do not confront them but ask them about anything that is worrying them or causing them anxiety. Tell them without intimidating them that you have something that shows that they are taking drugs. Tell them that drugs can only cause harm to the mind and the body. Show them a video or a book that shows about how drug abuse can kill and how alcohol can ruin the body and the mind. Give more time for the kids to speak and let them explain their point of view. In case, there is a worsening problem that cannot be controlled, make sure you do not hesitate from taking them to teen treatment programs . They are known to give their best to make sure that your loved one is rehabilitated in the best manner possible.
