Insight Treatment Center of Santa Clarita is an intensive outpatient treatment center for struggling teens and their families.
Specializing in mental health battles that have manifested in a number of different ways, including dangerous use of substances, Insight Treatment Center is ready to start your healing process.
In a recent interview with KHTS Staff, the Juvenile Intervention Team (J-Team) explained the dangers of drug use. The J-Team works closely with the Santa Clarita Sheriff Department to help teens avoid these catastrophic overdoses.
“Parents will say, ‘they’re only smoking marijuana.’ But the THC content is getting so strong and that it can just cause a lot of the youth or the people using it to hallucinate,” said Robby Robinson, a drug intervention specialist for the J-Team. “I heard a gentleman tell me that ‘the drugs are not good unless he overdoses,’ and he always had Narcan so he can get out of it.”

Teens often fall victim to a mentality of thinking they couldn’t possibly overdose, but with more and more fentanyl being laced into all other drugs, overdoses are becoming more and more common.
“I took a report the other day of a juvenile under the age of 14 who bought a THC laced cookie and ended up overdosing on it because it was a lot more than her body can handle,” Cacic said. “She ended up having a seizure and fainting and needed to go to the hospital.”
Insight Treatment staff are experts at treating teens dealing with substance addiction. Healing those deep-rooted hurts and reestablishing connections between the teen, their peers, and their families is an important goal at Insight.
