Teenage substance abuse affects emotional and social functioning, as well as the healthy development of family relationships. The goal of the Anthony Louis Center in Blaine, Minnesota is to help young people develop the skills they need to cope with the stresses of adolescence without turning to drugs and alcohol. Residential treatment provides teens with a safe and supportive place to examine their substance abuse and behavioral problems, become educated about the disease of addiction, and discover alternative methods for facing life’s challenges — and having fun.
