If you are a teenager with a drug or alcohol addiction, or if a teenager you love is addicted, prompt admission to an inpatient rehabilitation program can be the difference between life and death. Many insurance plans cover 30 to 90 days of treatment. During their time in rehab, teenagers learn skills to help them manage stress without drugs and fight cravings for drugs and alcohol.
