The harsh truth about drug abuse is that it
victimizes anybody who gets close to it whether
they are teenagers or adults and getting out of
it becomes almost impossible. Drugs prey on
people who have low self-esteem and when, people
are at their lowest, it plays with their mind and
overtime, using it becomes a habit. Teenage drug
abuse is different from adults using drugs,
because teenagers are rebellious and hard to
control and when they are under the influence, it
becomes all the more difficult to get them help.

Normally a substance abuse rehab and alcohol
rehab helps to bring these people back to life,
but their willingness is necessary, without which
they do not stand a chance of getting
through.   What some parents do not understand is
that there are some symptoms that are a sign of
drug and alcohol abuse that they usually chalk it
up to teenage issues. These symptoms are
divided in to two categories, which are
behavioral and physical signs.
