  • Methamphetamine Summary

    I often have youth that utilize chemical substances to “even out,” or to help them feel “normal,” more so it would seem than, through the acts of peer pressure or “everyone is doing it.” As a community residence we have the resources and are able to work though some of the issues that Nic, and his family experienced. This includes aspects, such as having groups, in house that are geared toward the youth and meant to assist them where they are in their own development. Nic also had more freedoms than the youth in our program, who may only leave the residence for field trips, some youth do leave for school, and others do go home on the weekends, but outside of those limited outings, they are in the house and accounted for every fifteen minutes. Nic was able to be out of the home at night, go to parties and stay over at friends’ houses, and his lackadaisical fathers parenting style would allow for it. In the community residence, there is no room for that type of boundary crossing, and if a youth takes it upon themselves to leave, the police are called and then the youth are taken for mandatory hospital evaluations, which the youth do not like, so this is also a deterrent for them leaving the property. Since leaving the property is not advantageous, the youth have a difficult time gaining access to drugs or alcohol and it is not worth the consequences. In all, I believe that to book only served me, as a social worker, the purpose of seeing how a upper-middle class family copes with addiction, as well as showing how the dynamics of divorce, new siblings, step-parents, and a poorly executed custody arrangement affected this family. This family is going to cope very differently given their access to resources, resources that provide their addicted son with private schools, top-notch therapists, rent for apartments, and very expensive

During his times of disposition, John has gone through several treatment programs including anger management classes, substance abuse treatment and a gang deactivation program. After the completion of the programs, it seemed that John has turned his life around for the better and he is now eager to be part of the community. John has also decided that he wants to get involved and work with some of the first time offenders in order to prevent them from making the same mistakes that he did. John’s experiences with crime and the experiences during his probations are very valuable; his ability to turn his life around could also be used to educate those who are in the same situations as he was.
