Do You Know Any Books About Teenagers Going Through Rehab Programs?
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?

Come Clean by Terri Paddock
“Justine Ziegler is taken, against her will, to ‘Come Clean Drug Rehabilitation Center’, the same rehabilitation center her twin brother Joshua Ziegler attended. After an interview with the program director in which most of her answers are twisted out of context to make her seem like a drug addict, Justine is admitted to Come Clean for what is supposedly a three day observation. First she is subjected to a strip search by a senior member, before being taken to the main hall, where the members of the program are “motivating” as part of their rehabilitation”
