For parents whose children are abusing alcohol or other drugs, these behaviors – plus the risk of addiction and other potentially devastating effects – can often feel like overwhelming challenges.

And although the path back to a drug-free existence may not be an easy one, even the smallest steps have the potential to yield lifelong results.

Summertime provides many young people with increased opportunities to engage in destructive behaviors such as substance abuse. But summer can also be the ideal time to put your child back on track toward a healthy and drug-free future.

For example, at SUWS Adolescent and Youth Programs – a therapeutic wilderness program for youth ages 11 to 17 – as little as 28 days can provide students with the foundation they need to pursue long-term sobriety.

Amid the wonders of the wilderness, your child can experience a sober summer while developing the skills and strategies to pursue a productive life free from the chains of chemical dependency.
