Timely intervention is the first and most important step in facilitating meaningful recovery for teens and young adults from any serious health issue whether it’s related to drug abuse, emotional-behavioral problems and/or mental illness. Taking the first step is often the hardest given the complexity and importance of the issues being dealt with, and the overwhelming sense of disorientation and helplessness that nearly all parents feel as they engage in trying to get help for their son or daughter.

Substance abuse and mental health statistics tell the sobering story of millions of young adults and their families across the country facing the same set of issues you are:

• 12 million kids under the age of 20 suffer from some form of depression. Most don’t get the help they need.
• 3 million 18-22 year olds in the United States are suffering from alcoholism or are considered alcohol dependent.
• Close to 60% of 21-24 year olds live at home or have boomeranged back in the last two years.
• One out two young adults suffering from serious mental health issues also suffers from chemical dependency.

Of course, statistics are just statistics unless one of them happens to be your son or daughter. The one who was an A student until his/her sophomore year when you first noticed they were “experimenting” with drugs and alcohol, and now you’re unsure if they’ll even finish high school. Or the one who started college, but flunked out after their first year and now sits home with no job or future plans. Worse yet, maybe things have progressed to the point where you know your son or daughter is an addict and they’ve participated in drug rehab programs, but always seem to relapse.

For many troubled teens and young adults, the journey back to mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health can be long and exhausting involving a large and diverse set of resources:

Chronic issues whether they be related to drug abuse, emotional behavioral problems or mental health disorders are much harder to treat successfully than issues caught early and dealt with proactively through some type of intervention. Every day that your son or daughter continues to “practice” their high risk and unhealthy lifestyle makes finding a solution to their problems harder and more expensive!
