It's an undeniable fact that many adolescents in this country use alcohol and drugs at a young age, and some even develop a dependence or addiction to drugs and alcohol. For adolescents in Kobuk who do end up addicted and dependent to drugs and alcohol, adults must take every step within their power to have the problem remedied before it's too late. Otherwise, addiction will lead to circumstances that may destroy an adolescent's life and any red flags that drugs or alcohol are in the picture must be addressed immediately. There are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for adolescents offered around the Kobuk area, several of which cater just to adolescents and also have rehabilitation professionals readily available trained specifically in helping this age range.
