This is Cena from south California. My 16 years old son has got into the grip of depression and stress. He has stopped taking interest in studies and always sits alone in his room. He always busted out and abuses his friends and class teachers. Recently I found some cigarettes and DVD’s of porn movies in his room. I would like to know about some residential treatment centers or clinics where he can get the best treatment.
Your son is addicted to drugs so it means he needs guidance of experienced and knowledgeable psychologists. Most of the time it has been seen that such victims are recovered through the residential treatment programs of rehab centers. Try to talk him and make him realize that how bad these substances are.
There are several recognized drug and alcohol rehabs treatment centers are present to help such victims. People can approach to these places any time. You can also take your son to one of such treatment clinic for better assistance and guidance.
Cena, as you said that your son is 16 years of age and he stops taking interest in studies and you also found some substance abusive material in his room. You do one thing i.e. you can visit the drug rehabilitation center with your son. In these centers, the professional counselors will treat your son.
From my point of view, your son is not suffering from any serious problem; he just needs some guidance and direction. Parents are the best source of inspiration, so you can advice him very peacefully and try to tell him the bad effects of drugs, smoking. As you said that you have also found some porn DVD’s, for this you have to talk to him very personally.
