American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:

Studies show that spirituality can help resiliency.  This is also true with substance abuse.

This article discusses how teens who have a stronger spirituality have an easier time overcoming substance abuse.  Having something beyond the material world is necessary for many to be able to resist the pleausres of this world and spirituality supplies this.

If you are interested in taking courses in substance abuse counseling or would like to help teens overcome substance abuse, then please review our program in Substance Abuse Counseling.

In the meantime, please enjoy the blog and various articles and if you have any questions, then please let us know
