Evidence-Based Residential Therapy for Desert Hot Springs Adolescents
As for parents, the term residential treatment comes with its fair share of mixed ideas and conflicting feelings, and perhaps, leads towards a lot of confusion. And we understand that.
For many parents, that confusion doesn’t affect their day-to-day life. Until it’s their own teen who is caught in a crisis, and the full consequence hits home. Imagine this: your teen is experimenting with drugs or alcohol, not just risking their health but plunging into a world filled with despair and danger. This isn’t just about poor choices—it’s about a lifestyle that connects them with a subculture endorsing all the wrong values, from drug use to destructive behaviors.
Statistics from trusted authorities paint a stark picture of these poor choices, with a disturbing number of teenagers in Desert Hot Springs & Riverside losing their lives due to fentanyl abuse and counterfeit drugs.
- According to Riverside Overdose Data to Action, the first nine months (from Jan – Sep) of 2023 alone saw 3,674 drug-related visits to emergency departments across Riverside County, with 155 of those involving youths between the ages of 15 and 24.
- Not to mention, the overdose fatality for Riverside County residents between January – April in 2023 for the 15-24 age bracket was 16, says- Riverside Overdose Data to Action.
- Not only this but in August 2022, a young girl, 17, was poisoned by fentanyl in an unincorporated area near Desert Hot Springs, as per News Channel 3 report.
These are quite devastating statistics. But you see, sometimes, despite their best efforts, teens can stray from a healthy path. And the reasons for this are many mental health struggles, bullying, peer pressure, social media influence, etc. A helping hand can make all the difference when these challenges pile up.

- When your teen is caught in the grip of an overdose or a mental health crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, your calm presence and quick thinking can make a real difference.
- In times like these, every second counts. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if you suspect an overdose or if the symptoms of their mental health disorders are getting worse. Once you call, the police dispatcher answers your call and will transfer your call to the Fire Department or Paramedics, if required.
- Your quick action could be the difference between your teen’s life and death.
