How do I know if it’s the time to bring my child to a drug rehabilitation center?

Question by mara_stew: How do I know if it’s the time to bring my child to a drug rehabilitation center?
I’ve been seeing some strange things in my son now. I know he is a good kid and getting into drugs would be the most unlikely thing that he can ever involve himself in. But I know he has some addicted friends, and I am wondering if they have actually persuaded my son to try drugs. Now, he really looks so weird and is projecting baggy clothes and a bad appeal. It also bothers me not to have a sound discussion with him (which I normally had before his “strangeness”) because every time I try, he quickly slips off me and locks himself to his room. But whenever I win and engage him in a talk, I notice that he can’t seem to send his message across partly because of his contradicting and even vague ideas. I also caught him stammering, which really upsets me since he has been an eloquent boy.

Do you think he is really into drugs now, and will I have to send him to a drug rehabilitation center right away?

It is not really difficult to detect teen addiction. Actually, parents never fail to suspect that their children are into drugs, once they see the emergence of their kids’ sudden “strangeness.” But what you’ve noticed in your kid is actually parallel to the common symptoms of teen addiction: baggy clothes, stammering, isolation, and even the presence of addicted friends. Most of the teen addicts also flunctuate in school, are commonly loathsome and difficult, and look so physically different. But the most apparent red warning sign is his possession of drug paraphernalia. If these symptoms are present in a child, it would be helpful to sign him up for a drug rehabilitation. It would not be difficult to find a treatment for a teenager since most of the drug rehab programs today are generated to meet their needs. But enrolling in an addiction treatment center should be the kid’s voluntary decision otherwise all recovery efforts will be futile.

So, I hope everything works well for you and your son!
