So, what do you do when Plan A fails? When the dreams you had for your kid go “Up in smoke”? When the law is involved and schools are fed up…when the bad habits run their life and no-one will hire them?
11 million American adolescents and young adults ages 12-29 need help with drug and alcohol problems- 9 million of these are between the ages of 12-25. (2009 National Study on Drugs and Health).
- 90% of the nearly 2 million adolescents who need help with drug and alcohol problems are not getting the help they need. (2008 National Study on Drugs and Health)
Traditional intervention models have a low success rate once the person integrates back into the “real world.” High schools don’t have the resources for life skills such as training how to balance a checkbook, how to read a contract, how to do your laundry…
What exactly is the problem?
- Drug abuse and addiction are a major burden to society. Estimates of the total overall costs of substance abuse in the United States- including health- and crime-related costs as well as losses in productivity-exceed half a trillion dollars annually. Not to mention the loss of life, broken homes, and parents who lose their children to this epidemic.
- Boys who had very low self-esteem in the sixth or seventh grade were 1.6 times more likely to meet the criteria for drug dependence nine years later than other children
- The national average for success (sobriety) after treatment is estimated between 10% and 20%.
- The biggest component to healing the addict is a community. When teens leave rehab, they are scattered different directions to return to old environments and social groups that facilitate their addictive behaviors (ie, drug use). They are not integrated into a sober community.
There is no magic bullet for these kids. It’s hard to find the one thing that is going to reach them.
