Answer by Lara Love
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is a United States federal government research institute. Their mission is to lead the Nation in bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction.

According to notes released by NIDA Director Dr. Alan I. Leshner in the September 2000 issue of Director’s Column:

“Remarkable research and technological advances in the past two decades have proved that brain disruption and damage play central roles in the consequences of drug abuse and addiction. Knowing the nature of a problem, of course, opens the way for systematic attempts to fix it. Thus, today, finding ways to restore normal brain function after it has been changed by drugs is a main goal of NIDA research.

[…]

Ultimately, researchers envision a two-stage process for helping restore drug abusers’ impaired abilities. Interventions will be used first to stop ongoing brain damage and repair damaged brain cells, and then to retrain the brain. The rationale for this approach is that repairing the brain first will restore lost mental resources and capacities that patients then can apply in further treatment.”

Question by Caryl: Do you know any books about teenagers going through rehab programs?
My brother is looking to read books (fiction or non-fiction) about teens going through rehab programs. This can be for behavioral problems, drug programs, anything really. He’s also looking to read books about teens in juvenile hall or in jail. If you could tell me any titles along with the author, it would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not “rehab” exactly but it’s about a teen boy who goes to a mental hospital ward to deal with his depression/anxiety problems. Maybe your brother would like it?
