Adolescence alone, regardless of the involvement of drug abuse, is a challenging and complex transition for young people. Exploring and attempting to discover one's self as an adolescent can be an overwhelming stage their life. In the event that drug or alcohol abuse becomes a problem, it is more than likely that many more obstacles will be encountered.  A teen dealing with drug abuse will struggle with many physical and emotional challenges.

As a result of drug addiction or alcohol abuse, adolescents have a tendency to encounter various risks, including but not limited to:

  • Developmental issues
  • School problems
  • Health problems
  • Delinquency
  • Sexual risks
  • Physical issues
  • Mental health problems
  • Family problems
  • Potential future addiction problems

Warning signs appear as the teen falls deeper into their drug addiction.  There are certain visible changes that present themselves as out of the ordinary from their usual behavior.  These changes  may include:

  • Drastic changes in appearance
  • Change of friends
  • Change of physical health
  • Behavioral problems
  • Academic problems
  • Change in attitude
  • Indifference
  • Increased irritability and hostility
  • Frequent changes in mood, eating, and sleeping patterns
  • Depression
  • Isolation

It is important to consider an adolescent's individual situation when treating his or her drug abuse issues. Comprehending the teens immediate environment in most cases enhances the understanding of why the substance abuse is taking place. It is necessary to look at family dynamics, developmental stages, emotional well-being, self-esteem issues, and potential co-existing mental health disorders.
