Early intervention is critical to preventing the long-term consequences of addiction in adolescents. By understanding the risk factors and recognizing the early warning signs, parents can take proactive steps to protect their children.
Environment and relationships play a significant role in the development of addiction. It is often a key part of treatment to analyze the people, places, and things that maintain the cycle of addiction. When these factors can be addressed, habits are changed, and recovery and transformation are increasingly possible.

We offer a faith-based approach to counseling that is instrumental in guiding adolescents through the recovery process. Our counselors are currently accepting referrals and can provide the support you need. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, don’t hesitate to call us today.
