    Struggling with Love: Advice for Parenting a Troubled Teen

    By Lizzie WeakleyDecember 9, 2018No Comments2 Mins Read

    It can be difficult to get through to a child who is struggling with drugs, alcohol or other problems. The good news is that there are ways that you can help you child overcome those issues and live a healthier life. Let's take a look at a few specific tips that you can try to help your teen cope with life's challenges.

    Get Your Teen to Counseling

    It may be best to get a licensed professional to talk with your teen about his or her struggles. In many cases, teens are more at ease expressing their feelings talking to a professional as opposed to their parents. This may be true no matter how close that a teen is with a mother or father. In addition to employing research-proven practices to help your teen recover, a professional therapist may also be able to point your child toward other support groups or resources to help him or her.

    How Support Groups Help an Addicted Teen

    It is easy to feel as if you are alone in dealing with addiction. For a teenager, it may already feel as if the world is out to get you no matter how petty or minor a problem may seem to others. However, support groups provide a forum for teens to talk to others who can relate to their problems and find solutions to them without feeling judged.

    Start a Detox Program

    For the first part of treatment, it may be necessary to put your teenager through a detox program. Coming off drugs can often lead to withdrawal symptoms that may be difficult or even dangerous to manage without medical assistance. Additionally, if your teen is addicted to opioids, you may consider looking into medication for opioid withdrawal treatment.

    Strengthen Family Bonds

    A great way to help your kids stay sober is to create stronger family ties. Teens generally care about what their parents think, and this urge to please may be stronger if there is a closer parent-child bond. You can create closer relationships with your kids by starting new traditions or getting more involved in the teen’s favorite hobbies.

    Parents can do a lot to help their children who are struggling with drugs or other issues. By showing that they care, mothers and fathers may be able to remind their teens that there is more to live for than getting high or drunk after school.
