How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work?

In cognitive-behavioral therapy, a one-on-one session is conducted between the victim of drug misuse and the therapist in a private setting. Usually, these sessions are conducted once or twice a week in the therapist’s office and last for about 45-60 minutes in length between four and twelve months. Typically, the treatment begins with the therapist, who would try to inquire about the negative or harmful thoughts of the patient. Once these thoughts are recognized, the therapist can then help the patient use logic to fight them.

Effective Way to Prevent Relapse

The most effective way to avoid relapse is to prevent stress. Studies show that relapse usually occurs during periods of high stress. It includes individuals who have already recovered for years. Also, when it comes to recovering from drug addiction, teens should avoid peers who misuse drugs. They should also be cautious when visiting websites on the internet, including the people they follow or their friends on social media. Seeing images or videos of people abusing drugs may trigger a relapse.

Encourage Your Teens to Say ‘No’

Your teens must learn to say 'no.' Talk to your child about how they can resist peer pressure. Forge a strong bond with them as a way of discouraging them from alcoholism and drug addiction.

The Vital Role of Family during Intervention

There are many areas of influence in a teenager's life, yet it all starts with family. Family plays a vital role in a teenager to distinguish healthy and unhealthy behaviors.

When children are educated about the dangers of drug misuse, they are less likely to misuse drugs. Likewise, parents should set a good example. The positive behaviors shown by family members affect the teenager's view on alcoholism and drug addiction.

Benefits of Group Therapy for Teens

While individual or family therapy is both effective forms of treatment, a lot of teens benefit from participating in group sessions. Here are some of the reasons why groups are beneficial for teens:

1. It allows teens to express their thoughts and feelings among like-minded peers

2. It makes teens feel understood and validated by their peers regarding their feelings.

3. It introduces them to valuable tools to cope with stressors and problems.

4. It helps them gain awareness regarding themselves, their relationships, and social environments.

How Do Drugs Affect a Teen’s Brain?

Drugs have a stronger effect on children and teens compared to adults because the brain’s development continues until about the age of 25. As children grow older, the brain develops unequally. During the puberty phase, the parts of the brain in charge of emotion, and motivation develop faster than the parts that control reasoning and impulse. That is why teens are more responsive to their emotional impulses. It’s also the reason why they’re more prone to risk-taking behaviors. Also, a developing brain is more vulnerable than a fully matured one.

Risk-Factors in Teen Drug Use

Many risk factors increase a teen’s urge to use illegal drugs. These include living in a household where drug misuse is tolerated, and the parents misuse drugs themselves.

We Conduct a Patient-Focused Treatment

Teenagers have different underlying drug addiction cases, and there are also differing interventions for them. Our goal is to determine which intervention is appropriate.

We know that drug addiction and alcoholism can drain a person's financial savings, ruin family relationships, and weaken their morale. We know how this case affects them. Thus, we carefully conduct a series of assessments to further understand their situation, helping us develop the appropriate interventions for them.

Maintain an Open Communication with Your Children

A teen's peers may be aware of their drug misuse, either by witnessing the behavior themselves or by hearing stories from others. However, don't expect teenagers to discourage their peers from alcoholism and drug misuse. Thus, you must communicate with your children more often. As such, it can help you free your children from the negative influences of their peers.
