Alcohol as a Gateway Drug: A Study of US 12th Graders
The Gateway Drug Theory suggests that licit drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol, serve as a “gateway” toward the use of other, illicit drugs. However, there remains some discrepancy regarding which drug—alcohol, tobacco, or even marijuana—serves as the initial “gateway” drug subsequently leading to the use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
I am so grateful for what Insight has provided for our daughter and our family. I never would I have thought that we would learn so much about ourselves and grow stronger as a family in the process.

Insight understands healing is a process and they are in it with you for the long haul. The impact that family treatment has had on our family has changed all of our lives for the better. It took me 3 months before I realized how important it was that I change as well. We are so grateful for what Insight has taught us.

This program has changed our life for the better. Truly an amazing place with even more amazing staff and clients. My kid put in the work and got so much out of it, including lifelong friendships. It didn't come without its struggles and hardships but the staff and clients where always there for us, it truly is an Insight family.
- Kayla D. 
I will recommend this place to all the struggling parents out there- know that you are not alone in this journey. I remember how alone I felt and how many places we had to go through until we finally found Insight.
- Aide D. 
Insight Treatment Programs was absolutely the right call for our daughter. My wife and I are so thankful to have chosen Insight to lead us through the rehabilitation process. By the time we'd finished, there was a tremendous amount of healing and understanding within all of us.
