Substance Abuse Programs for Troubled Girls From The City of Julesburg, CO

As one can deduce from the name, substance abuse programs for troubled girls are rehabilitation centers that specifically cater to adolescent females who struggle with addictions to drugs and alcohol. 

However, it should be noted that while there are programs that provide co-ed rehabilitation services to teens, most experts and mental health authorities recommend that teenage girls be sent to a single-gendered facility. As to why it is recommended that girls go to a single-sex program, experts explain it's because teenage girls are the most likely to abuse, become addicted to, and suffer overdoses from drugs and alcohol -- more so than any other demographic in the U.S.  

Due to their inclination to use and added vulnerability to become addicted to harmful substances, teenage girls require treatment from a staff group, facility, and organization that is specifically versed in treating addiction issues in the female gender. 

Today's Teens (Including Girls from Julesburg, CO) Are Abusing Drugs in Record Numbers

No city or town (including Julesburg, CO) is safe from the scourge of drug abuse. Drug and underage drinking abuse was not long ago a taboo (except for drinking beer at parties). It was only a decade ago that if an average teen did experiment with drugs, it was an occasional joint or light beer stolen from their dad's fridge. While these behaviors aren't healthy by any means, they pale in comparison to today's teenage drug-abusing landscape. 

As mentioned, there have always been cliques and social groups among teens who use drugs on occasion. That said, aside from truly disturbed and poorly raised children from generation's past, high school peer groups generally did not normalize the use of hardcore drugs such as opioids, synthetic drugs, and prescription stimulants. At least nowhere near the mainstreamed and ubiquitous extent that today's teens (namely girls) do. 

Whereas past generations looked down on hardcore use of drugs -- even teens who smoked marijuana as late as the early ’20s were stigmatized as “burnouts” -- today’s teens are more than friendly towards the most dangerous substances on earth.  

According to the latest statistics, roughly 3 million teens engage in drug use every month. Terrifyingly for parents of teenage girls from Julesburg, CO, the majority of the millions of teen drug users are females ages 12-17.
