Teen Addiction Therapy in San Francisco

Addiction happens when people get stuck in a pattern of repeating a compulsive negative behavior.

Most experts agree that there is a strong genetic component to addiction. In other words, there is a gene that gets flipped on like a light switch when a person encounters difficult, traumatic, or stressful events.

Addiction is increasingly common among teens.

When left untreated, addiction can grow to become out of control very quickly, and can negatively impact a teen’s life in a number of ways. Addiction can come in many forms such as…

-Alcohol abuse

-Marijuana abuse

-Video games

-Sex

-Exercise

-Money

-Work

…and much more.

While addiction can be pervasive, and often co-occurs with other issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma, it is also highly treatable with the help of an expert addiction therapist.
