Teen Drug Abuse

The problem is epidemic!!!!! It is also highly treatable!!!!!

The family hierarchy usually is reversed. The teen is in charge.

It's an equal opportunity problem. It affects anyone, any family and at any time.

Addicts are not bad people, they're sick.

You may not be the one to help. Learn about codependency.

Abstinence is first and is a "must." It is the beginning and not the solution.

Differentiate between experimentation, recreational use, abuse and addiction. Get an accurate diagnosis.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT INVOLVEMENT:

Work with your spouse. This is an important component.

Plan to act/intervene based on logic and not emotion. Do not be afraid to take charge. But don't panic, get help!!!

Look for action from your child, not persuasion.
