We all know that adolescence is an extremely difficult period, a time when teenagers often experiment with drugs and alcohol. This experimentation can turn into far more serious problems. The Caroline Counseling Center provides help for adolescents who may already have a serious problem with chemicals or may just be starting to experiment. We can provide guidance necessary to help an adolescent make a responsible choice about using chemicals. Acupuncture Acupuncture has been shown to be an excellent addition to more traditional forms of treatment for chemical dependency.
Acupuncture reduces the frequency and intensity of the post acute withdrawal syndrome.
This syndrome is comprised of agitation, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, and cravings. These symptoms and signs can be significant relapse triggers that can complicate primary treatment and early recovery. The Caroline Counseling Center offers acupuncture as an addition to treatment for all clients. Our goal is to promote the the personal and social growth of the individual to his or her maximum potential and deter the the use of alcohol or other drugs. The Prevention Office is a free service to the community to use as a local resource.
