Ryan Pearne’s parents feared that without intervention, they’d lose their son to his potentially deadly addictions to drugs and alcohol.
Ryan gets a pat on the back from his dad inside the Pasadena Recovery Center.
But their intervention succeeded, and 19-year-old Ryan spent a month at thePasadena Recovery Center last spring.
Going in, the Inland Empire teen — himself the father to a 3-year-old — didn’t believe he had a problem.
In treatment, that changed.
Now, after his time at the center and working with New Leaf Interventions, he’s been more than 100 days sober.
The recovery process completely altered his perspective, and he wants other addicts to know they can have a similar experience.
“Find help, it really is out there,” Pearne said. “The world doesn’t have to be a dark place.”

]]>Teen Intervention Help: Do you think — or know — that your child is using drugs or alcohol?
Even if you believe your teen is just “experimenting” it’s important to take action right away.
Casual drug use can quickly turn into drug abuse, dependence or addiction and can lead to accidents, legal trouble and serious health issues.
If you are at all concerned about your child – or even just have a bad feeling – you can and should intervene by:
- Setting tighter limits with clear consequences
- Getting outside help and support if necessary
- Having productive conversations with your child — remain calm, share your concerns and listen.
- Closely monitoring your child’s behavior and activities
