Dr. Frank Sanchez from the Academy in Los Angeles shares five things your teen can expect during his or her stay at the Academy.

“I’m way happier today than I ever would have been if I was still using. I’m able to express my feelings in a healthy way.”

“I’m in a place where I can actually do things and help other people with my life. That’s why recovery is worth it—because every day is it’s own new thing. It’s another chance to make it.”

“I used to smoke to take away my stress, but now I realize that every time I was done being high my problems would just creep back up on me.”
