• Indeed, it is troublesome to admit that your teen
  needs help with the addiction. But there are some
  difficulties that you may not be capable of
  solving as a guardian/parent. Some matters demand
  professional intervention or counseling.
• Teens may need specialist counseling for behavior
  issues, mental health concerns, emotional
  intricacies, substance abuse problems,  traumatic
  experiences, stress, and relationship
  difficulties. Unfortunately, the more you wait to
  seek help, the more serious your teens issues
  can become. Therefore, its imperative to seek
  help as quickly as you can.

  reach one Best Rehabilitation Centres in India.
• Is Your Teen Addicted or Experimenting?
• At the very first stage, even before looking for
  a treatment facility, parents need to find out if
  their teens drug use is experimental or he/she
  struggles with addiction. Parents need to
  apprehend the difference between experimenting
  with alcohol or drugs and being addicted to these
  substances.

• Teens in High school explore new levels of
  independence. Their routine activities might
  involve benign activities such as learning to
  drive and staying up late but may also involve
  nasty ones like experimental drug use.
• The allure of the forbidden can be one of the
  great reasons most teens are interested in trying
  illegal drugs. However, only trying a substance
  does not make someone addicted even there are
  many teens who try alcohol or drugs do not end up
  using them daily. That means, if your teen has an
  addiction, treatment is more recommended, not if
  they have tried alcohol or drugs once or twice.
• Signs that Your Teen May be Addicted (Not Based
  on Clinical Criteria)
• Acting Secretive 
• Operating in a tight-lipped way that is out of
  the ordinary may symbolize that your son/daughter
  abuses substances. Staying out later than allowed
  with friends or locking the bedroom door more
  often, or answering general questions evasively
  are a few patterns of secretive behavior.
• Variations in Body Shape 
• Based on what your teen is taking, there may be
  physical changes to his or her appearance. For
  instance, your child may have bloodshot eyes,
  lose or gain weight, nosebleeds, wounds or track
  marks, and other changes that may be easily
  visible.

• Poor Grades 
•  Often, the first thing to suffer when teens
  begin to take drugs or drink alcohol is their
  grades. Over a period of time, you will notice a
  rapid decline in grades, or they may slowly get
  worse.
• Changes Around The House  
• Most teens leave definite physical indications
  that they are addicted to substances. For
  instance, a teen may reach home with a dented car
  that cant be explained or may leave drug-related
  apparatus lying around or massive credit card
  bills, etc. Missing prescription pills may also
  be a clue that the teen is abusing drugs.
• Changes in Habits  
• Sudden decreased or increased appetite, a new
  group of friends, misbehavior to family members,
  and other changes in attitude may all be signs
  that a teen is using alcohol or drugs very often.
• Confront the Teen that Needs Treatment
• Conversing with your teen about his or her
  suspected drug abuse can be not-so-easy. Still,
  its an essential move towards your childs
  recovery from addiction.

• Its vital to remain calm when confronting your
  child. Instead of accusing the teen of using
  drugs, try asking first. Importantly, dont
  overreact or lash out if your child agrees to
  drug use. It may eventually lead your child to
  shut down and withdraw to confide in you. Showing
  that you are here to help them in seeking
  treatment can make them feel heard and
  understood.
• If the teen refuses drug use, but you still doubt
  he or she is abusing the drug, you may want to
  reconsider conducting an at-home drug test by
  focusing on the above warning signs. Once your
  suspicions confirm, make your child seek
  professional aid.
• And, as soon as you and your teen have the same
  thoughts about seeking treatment, its vital to
  support him or her healing journey.
