Lotus Behavioral Health

Why do teens with foster care backgrounds show up in treatment at higher rates than their peers?

It's not about character; it's about what happens to a developing brain when safety, stability, and consistent attachment are disrupted, sometimes for years.

For many foster youth, substance use isn't recreational.

It's self-medication for a nervous system stuck in survival mode.
