Thelma McMillen Center for Chemical Dependency Treatment

The McMillen Teen Outpatient Program

Know the Signs

The signs of drug and alcohol abuse by adolescents are clear:

• Behavior changes
• Mood swings
• Decline in grades
• Loss of motivation
• Shift in peer group

Don't ignore the signs of a teen in trouble -- it may not be "just a passing phase". Make the call to the Thelma McMillen Teen Outpatient Program for a free confidential consultation (confidential to the fullest extent under federal and state law) with a trained professional who can help you identify potential substance abuse problems with your teen. The Teen Outpatient Program office is open 9-5 p.m., Monday - Friday. Therapists are available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to take intake inquiries. Telephone Number 310-257-5760 or send an e-mail to ChemDepend@tmmc.com.
