While certain behaviors, such as taking risks, rebelliousness, or spending less time with family, are often normal for most teens, other signs and symptoms could indicate the presence of a problem.1 While some of these can vary depending on the specific substance, here are some of the general warning signs that might point to drug or alcohol use in teens:2Â- Behavioral changes, such as avoiding family and friends, not letting you know where they’re going, or breaking curfews.

- Stealing money or items from your home that could be sold to purchase drugs or alcohol.
- Problems at school, such as a sudden drop in grades, skipping classes, or forgetting homework.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Teen Rehab Program
How does your virtual treatment program work?
Guardian Recovery’s virtual program for adolescents allows teens to receive care from the comfort of their own homes using secure video calls, phone calls, or messaging, which can be a convenient and accessible option for both teens and parents who are unable to travel to our location.
What types of insurance do you accept?
We work with a variety of insurance providers to ensure that treatment is accessible. Please contact us at 1-888-483-1517Â to learn more about your specific coverage as well as additional payment options.
Is it a good idea for my child to attend an out-of-state treatment program?
While you can often find quality rehab in your area, it can sometimes be a good idea to remove your child from their immediate surroundings, as it can be full of triggers, such as certain people or places where they used to drink or use drugs, and increase the chances of relapse.3 It’s not required to send your child to an out-of-state program, but sometimes, distance can be beneficial.
