3 Caron Quick Facts Nationally recognized chemical dependency treatment facility Addiction treatment services (60 year history) Student assistance services/prevention (20+ year history) Offers a full spectrum of treatment programs to meet the needs of everyone (adolescents to seniors) 3
4 Why Do Teens Use Drugs/Alcohol? Drugs alter perceptions of reality in ways that often feel pleasant Drug use may temporarily satisfy emotional or social needs
5 Drugs can be a tool with many functions: Relaxation & pleasure Socialization Avoidance of emotional pain A way to forget about problems Satisfy curiosity Avoid alienation Achieve an advantage Find excitement Feel like part of the crowd Go to sleep, or wake up Cope with failure Relieve boredom Rebel
6 Current Trends The Good News o The use of prescription drugs continues to decline o There continues to be a decline in alcohol consumption including binge drinking o Marijuana use did not increase Areas of concern o Use of electronic cigarettes is high o Perceived harm in taking drugs continues to decrease 6
7 Alcohol The most widely abused drug by teens and adults Children under the age of 21 drink 11% of the alcohol consumed in the U.S. 7
8 Alcohol Trends
9 Nicotine Delivery Products
10 E-Cigarettes
11 Marijuana
12 Butane Hash Oil (BHO) Concentrated cannabis extract derived from marijuana Made by boiling cannabis with a solvent and then using a vacuum for refinement Has resulted in dangerous explosions No discernable odor
13 13
14 OTC and Rx
15 Emerging Trends
16 Adolescent Chemical Dependency Typically poly-substance abusers More internal reasons to continue to use Levels of use are more difficult to determine Emotional arrestment More complicated delusional system High rates of co-occuring disorders Addiction develops more rapidly For adults, addiction may take 5-10 yrs to develop For teens, addiction may take only 2 to 3 years 16
17 What factors determine if a person will become addicted? Risk Factors Genetics Gender Mental Disorders Route of administration Effect of drug itself Chaotic home and abuse Parent s use & attitudes Early use Peer influences Availability Community attitudes Cost Poor school achievement 17
18 Risk/Protective Factors Risk Early age of onset Perception of parental approval Friends use Family abuses drugs/alcohol Low perception of harm Strained family dynamics Easy access and availability Poor school achievement/ connection to school Protective Later age of onset Perception of parental disapproval Friends don t use Family use is responsible High perception of harm Strong family cohesion No access or availability Success in school/strong connection to school
19 Boys & Girls Often Use for Different Reasons Reasons Boys Are More Likely to Use: Reasons Girls are More likely to Use: Sensation Seeking Showing Off Being Cool To fit in with peers Lose Weight Self-Medicate Reduce Inhibitions 19
20 Wiring of the Teen Brain Wired toward taking risks Wired to seek immediate gratification (reward) rather than fear long-term consequences (risks) Emotional center trumps logical center Examples: the social rewards of staying out past curfew might outweigh the likelihood of getting in trouble the physical pleasure of getting drunk might outweigh the concern over tomorrow s hangover They can get addicted faster, longer and stronger
21 The Reward Pathway Survival Activity (ie. Food) Dopamine Released Pleasure Memory Motivation to repeat 21
22 Stage 1: Learning Stage Pain Normal Euphoria The user learns he/she can produce a good feeling by using substances May use at parties, under peer pressure, or on weekends Finds it easy to get drunk or high due to a lack of tolerance Learns that substances provide good feelings; he/she trusts the effects Controls the use No adverse behavioral effects may be detected The user feels good (euphoria) with few consequences Psycho-educational support group appropriate at this time 22
23 Stage 2: Regular Use/ Misuse (Seeking Stage) Pain Normal Euphoria Getting intoxicated has increased in importance List of priorities begins to change Negative dimension is introduced for the first time Tolerance begins to be developed Peer group identity may begin to form around chemical use Continues to control times, quantity, and outcomes of use Outpatient D&A treatment appropriate at this time 23
24 Stage 3: Harmful Use/Abuse (Early stages of dependence) Pain Normal Euphoria Periodic loss of control over use Behavior violates the person s value system Negative feelings about self remain unidentified and unresolved Increased preoccupation Lifestyle begins to change and revolve around the chemical Tolerance increases, thus more frequent use, higher quantities and experimentation with additional chemicals Peer group change is distinct Projections of self-hatred onto others begins Number one priority is a chemically-induced high Intensive Outpatient D&A treatment appropriate at this time 24
25 Stage 4: Dependence (Addiction) Pain Normal Euphoria Individual uses substance to feel normal and avoid pain Desire to use the substance becomes most important Experiences complete loss of control Blackouts Arrested development Physical addiction and presence of withdrawal without the chemical Paranoid thinking Loss of desire to live; hopelessness Total conflict with moral and values codes Suicide potential Inpatient D&A Treatment needed at this time 25
26 Danger Signals for Teens Blackouts Power Hitting (bingeing) Using when you hadn t planned to Preoccupation Tolerance Protecting the supply Using alone Self-Medicating 26
27 Chemicals and Defenses Simple Denial- My eyes are red because of my allergies. Minimizing- Everyone else drank way more. It s no big deal. Rationalizing- School has been so stressful lately. Intellectualizing- Marijuana should be legalized anyway. Blaming- If you and Dad didn t fight so much Diversion- I had to drive. You expect me to walk home in that condition? Hostility- Yelling, What-you don t trust me! 27
28 Co-Occurring Disorders Depression and other mood disorders Eating disorders Anxiety disorders Self-injurious behavior ADHD tend to use alcohol at a younger age, in addition used more LSD and inhalants than non-adhd peers. Psycho stimulant medication diversion a significant problem. Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, Alcohol as primary drug of choice Initiation to D/A use usually occurred within 1 year of ADHD diagnosis. 28
29 How Families are Affected Confusion/Conflict over mixed messages Unclear limits/boundaries Abdicating parental responsibilities High levels of stress Societal blame of parents of children who do not meet social norms Unhealthy systems have unhealthy rules DENIAL 29
30 Treatment/Recovery Options Outpatient treatment Relapse prevention Parent support groups Integration into a recovery peer group Recovery schools Student Assistance Programs Residential treatment 30
31 An ounce of prevention Move to a prevention orientation Support staff can influence more students through this perspective Develop interventions that help ALL students cope in difficult times Focus on the developmental assets - Represent the relationships, opportunities, and personal qualities that young people need to avoid risks and to thrive 31
32 What can we do??? Provide a clear message Stay connected Maintain a zero-tolerance policy Be aware of things that could place teens at higher risk Become an asset builder Implement education, prevention and intervention programs * Prevention is the key: 95% of people who are dependent on ATODs started before they were 20 32
