    Underage Daughter Spending A Lot Of Time Smoking Marijuana

    Jul 25, 2012

    Caller: 47-year old dad calling regarding 16-year old daughter

    Problem: Marijuana addiction

    Seeking: Treatment options available

    Reason(s): Dad is requesting help with his underage, teenage daughter. As the sole provider and as the only custodian, he says he knows it falls upon him to make a difference in his daughter’s life. He said that since his daughter has been experimenting with marijuana, she has not been the same person she was before. He said, “I know that teenagers change, that is no surprise to me, but she has started missing family functions and can’t even be bothered to show up for dinner anymore. I swear, if I did not chase her to school every day I feel she would just lay around the house and do nothing.” Caller states he does not know whether her social circle is to blame, whether she is rebelling against his parental supervision, or if she is simply going through a phase – but he wants it to stop. The caller is worried about the gateway effect, stating, “I know pot is only going to make her lazy, as long as she does not drive and doesn’t get caught with it, there are probably no health risks. However, I do not want her to move onto some other drug and try something more serious just because I did not step in when she was smoking pot.”

    The traditional 12 step approach looks at drug and alcohol addiction as an incurable disease. This disheartens many and makes people feel as though they are at a constant disadvantage when battling addiction. Non-traditional programs treat drug and alcohol addiction as a serious problem that can be fully addressed and resolved through treatment that is based on science and empirical evidence.
    The issue with 12 step programs is that they were the first real drug and alcohol addiction treatment offered to the public. Because many realize that addiction is something that they cannot overcome by themselves, popularity boomed quickly. While the research now shows 12 step programs are almost as effective as doing nothing at all, they are still the first name associated with drug addiction by virtue of "being first."
    Not all non 12 step programs are the same, which makes it important to find the right program for you or your loved one. It is important to find a long-term, holistic treatment option that treats each patient as an individual.
    It is impossible to determine exactly how much non 12 step treatment costs without knowing more specifics about the prospective patient. Some programs charge more than others do. This again highlights the importance of finding a program that not only meets your needs, but is also affordable. Fortunately, many programs work with a sliding pay scale or allow you to pay for treatment in installments.
    This depends on the programs and on your insurance. More and more insurance companies are realizing the need for proper alternative drug treatment and extending coverage. This is due to the better results offered by a holistic approach and the financial benefits of most patients not relapsing.
