When you enter the program you begin 1st phase. You are called a new-comer. You have no rights and have to gain permission for each physical move you make, under the guise that you may be trying to escape. This means you even have to ask to move across the bedroom to get a pencil. Bathroom trips also have to be approved and you are watched while doing your business. Remember that the person enforcing this stuff is another kid or two, not some trained clinician. The parents do not normally intervene, even in their own homes.

Drug Abuse: Parents Need to Take the Lead Against Teenage Drug Abuse
Parents Need to Take the Lead Against Teenage Drug Abuse, it seems obvious but many times isn’t. I remember a conversation I had with a police detective some 35 years ago. He was telling me about what a mother had told him over the phone about her teenaged son. “Once he’s out of the house, he’s not our problem.” The detective, who served an upscale suburban community, was explaining to me that parents can be irresponsible and in his mind almost criminal in their neglect of children.
Parents are the most important people in a child’s life. They set the tone for everything. If parents abuse drugs, the children are likely to abuse drugs. If husbands beat their wives, their sons will likely be wife beaters too. If parents divorce and abandon their children, those children are not likely to become model parents either. Parents are the front line in the prevention of drug abuse and there’s so much they can do to try to secure the best possible future for their children.

What Drives Kids to Become Drug Abusers?
Understanding why some teens abuse drugs require an in-depth probe into their individual conditions and the kind of environment they are exposed to. For most parents/guardians, identifying the indications of drug abuse can be hard since most of them are synonymous to typical adolescent behaviors. Hence, seeking the help of a psychologist or pediatrician is imperative to accurately assess whether a teen is into drugs or not.
In determining the exact risk factors, however, experts have found over 50 likely causes. Prevailing in the concerned teenager’s home, school and social circle, these could be affected by other circumstances depending on a per case basis. As such, two main categories elucidating the primary reasons behind teenage drug abuse has been identified. They are as follows:
