It's an unfortunate fact many adolescents in the USA begin using drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and a great many even develop a dependence or addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. For adolescents in Scott Air Force Base who do become addicted to alcohol and drugs, adults must take every step within their power to have the problem remedied before it is too late. Or else, substance abuse will lead down a path that may destroy a youngster's future and any indicators that drugs or alcohol have been in the picture should be addressed right away. There are alcohol and drug treatment facilities for adolescents available around the Scott Air Force Base area, several of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals readily available trained specifically in handling this age range.
