We know how difficult it is to see an adolescent take refuge in alcohol or drugs, and how desperate it can feel to not know how to help them. In recent years, and especially following the pandemic, mental health problems in young people have increased drastically. Anxiety, depression, and a lack of tools to manage their emotions have led many adolescents to seek a quick escape through substance use. As parents, facing this situation can be distressing, but there are solutions and support available. <\/p>\n

Alcoholism in adolescents: more than just a phase<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is common to hear phrases like “it’s just a stage” or “all teenagers drink at some point,” but adolescent alcoholism<\/strong> is not something that should be taken lightly.<\/p>\n

According to an article in La Vanguardia<\/strong><\/a>, 86.5% of 18-year-old students have consumed alcohol in the last year, but they date their first episode of drunkenness at 14.5 years old. An even more frightening figure is intensive or binge drinking, which 28.2% of adolescents claim to have engaged in within the last 30 days. <\/p>\n

This excessive alcohol consumption during adolescence can seriously affect brain development, increasing the likelihood of suffering from anxiety and depression disorders in adulthood. This means that every instance of drunkenness is not just a night of fun, but real damage that can have lasting consequences. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, today, social media and the excessive use of digital devices have changed the way adolescents interact. Spending hours in front of a screen instead of socializing face-to-face can make them feel more isolated and vulnerable, which often pushes them to seek refuge in alcohol and other substances. The lack of boundaries and easy access to content that glorifies drug use only aggravate the situation. <\/p>\n

How can a detox center for adolescents help?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When an adolescent develops an addiction, leaving them to “their own devices” or waiting for them to “grow out of it” is not an option. A detox center for adolescents<\/strong> offers a safe and specialized environment where they will receive the necessary help to break the cycle of addiction. Unlike treatment for adults, an adolescent’s recovery requires a different approach, adapted to their age and emotional situation. <\/p>\n

In our addiction center<\/a>, we exclusively treat adolescents of legal age, as the therapeutic approach for a minor may require other strategies. For those under 18, except in very serious cases or when there are additional psychological disorders, it is usually recommended to start with a day center or with psychologists specialized in addictions, who can offer outpatient treatment suited to their situation. <\/p>\n
