During the teenage years, your child is trying to figure out who they are and what their place is in the world. This means experimenting with their appearance, interests, and hobbies. While some experimenting can be beneficial for development, certain experiments can be harmful. Teens who choose to experiment with harmful substances put themselves at risk for substance abuse and even addiction. Foothills at Red Oak Recovery can help your teen if they are struggling with substance abuse. A teen substance abuse treatment center will address your child’s experimentation with harmful substances.
At Foothills at Red Oak Recovery, our adolescent treatment center is fully equipped to help teen boys between the ages of 14 and 18. In addition to our substance use disorder treatment options, we also offer treatment for a range of process disorders.

The Need for a Teen Substance Abuse Treatment Center
Most often, teens use substances to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. However, substance use can become a more significant problem over time. To prevent this from occurring, your teen can benefit from the help of our substance abuse treatment services, such as drug abuse treatment and alcohol abuse treatment. Substance use disorders range from problematic use to addiction and can be treated successfully at any stage and at any age. Residential treatment is a resource-intense high level of care, where the therapeutic community focuses on building personal and social responsibility and developing healthier coping skills. At our residential treatment center, we offer a range of addiction treatment options, including:
- Alcohol addiction treatment
- Heroin addiction treatment
- Cocaine addiction treatment
- Opioid addiction treatment
- Prescription drug addiction
In addition, because teens are unique in their development, it is important that they are in an environment that is tailored to their specific emotional, physical and spiritual needs. At Foothills at Red Oak Recovery, we believe teens can best thrive in a small, nurturing, age-appropriate environment that teach skills which can be easily transferred to their home and family relationships.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
We recognize that substance use disorders are often linked to mental health conditions. These can significantly impact the efficacy of the treatment and the likelihood of relapse. For the most effective treatment, your teen may require treatment for co-occurring disorders, otherwise known as dual diagnosis treatment. We can provide a range of treatment options for those who suffer from both addiction and mental health concerns. Our treatment options include:
- Anxiety treatment
- Depression treatment
- Disordered eating treatment
- Bipolar disorder treatment
- PTSD treatment
