Substance
Abuse in the Virgin Islands - Overview
If you are a parent residing in the Virgin Islands
and you have found our website, you are probably reaching the
heartbreak stage of your teen’s behaviors and exhausted
by the impact of your teen’s choices and the affect it
is having on you and your family. Fear for your teen’s
safety and future, are common daily feelings experienced by
parents. We at Inspirations Teen Rehab understand
your situation as we have helped many families in the US, Canada
and the Virgin Islands. We are Karen Corcoran-Walsh and Christopher
Walsh, the owners of Inspirations for Youth and Families aka
Inspirations Teen Rehab. We are also the parents of three children,
two of whom just passed through their teenage years. We are
also professionals in the mental health field.
This page is written to provide parents with a sense of relief
in knowing there is help for you and your teen. It is written
to remind you, the parent, that your teen has reached a point
in life where choices are made that you may not always indorse
or control. Teen drug and alcohol abuse and behavioral problems
are international. Teens have a life outside of the family
unit that often prevents a parent from their previous ability
to protect their child, direct their child's daily activities,
and manage their child's choice of friends. It is a profound
time for parents and teens. However, you are still the parent,
legal guardian and legal representative of your teenager,
holding the ability to make the ultimate authoritative decisions
regarding the direction of your teenager's immediate future.
This page is written to empower you to make the decisions
that you see fit to best protect and guide your teenager through
this journey of teenage years, entering young adulthood. Behavior
and drug use or drug abuse rather in US, Canada, or the Virgin
Islands can lead to explosive and life changing experiences
for a teen and family.
Choosing an appropriate residential facility, drug
and alchol rehab in the Virgin Islands is a difficult
task. Keep in mind that by choosing Inspirations Teen Rehab
you are choosing a nurturing, educating, and therapeutic residential
program for your teen. We are not a locked-down psychiatric
facility. We are not a juvenile offender program with boot-camp
mentality. Inspirations Teen Rehab holds the belief that the
teens attending Inspirations Teen Rehab are good teens, making
poor choices at this time in their life. Teen drug use and
teen drug abuse are an unfortunate issue for today’s
teens, often a result of inappropriate coping skills, lack
of accountability, and attempts to self-medicate. Inspirations
will work with you and your teen to develop teenage coping
and decision making skills, a program of accountability, and
a daily life without the use of substances and impairment.
Teens will re-learn the art and joy of living, being
a part of a family and experiencing this limited time in adolescence.
