A Good Idea

Description

There are many teens in the world looking for information on mental health issues and help with substance abuse. There are even more parents wanting to be able to talk to their teens and children about these issues. TeenRehabCenter.org, provided by the integrated behavioral health care management organization Advanced Recovery System (ARS), is an informative resource centered around providing information to teens, young adults, and parents about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.

Goal / Mission

The goal of TeenRehabCenter.org is to give parents the tools they need to be able to talk to their children and teens about drugs and alcohol. By providing these resources, it hopes to prevent more teens and young adults from substance abuse. It also aims to help those who are already struggling by furnishing recovery information that is tailored both for parents and for teens.

Impact

Time spent in treatment is forward progress, since the individual is removed from substance use and negative peer and environmental influences. At least half of teens who graduate from rehab will enjoy an extended period of sobriety. How they follow-up after rehab is over can play a massive role in how strong and stable these healthy habits become.

Results / Accomplishments

TeenRehabCenter.org has been able to provide drug and alcohol abuse information that helps to stop addiction before it has the ability to place its grip on our loved ones. It also provides resources for those who are already struggling with substance abuse and aims to contribute on their path to recovery.
