According to a recent report, officials in upstate New York are concerned that teens are mixing heroin with another powerful drug fentanyl and end up overdosing.

This pattern of teens using drugs, abusing their bodies, then going back out for more is symptomatic of an addictive process. One sure way to change course is to enter drug rehab and start learning about healthier life choices. Recovery Associates developed its Adolescent Track for these exact situations, where teens can leave the drug life behind and start truly living a sober, free, happy life.
