Synopsis

This book will serve as your handbook for dealing with a drug using teen, educating you on what works and what doesn’t, and providing a step-by-step plan of action in what surely is one of the most important and challenging tasks in the life of any parent. Teens in every community and school environment are increasingly exposed to drugs – ever more powerful drugs – at younger and younger ages. They are bombarded with messages via television, the Internet, social media, and music that glorify a superficial lifestyle where drugs are not just accepted, but encouraged as a key element of popularity, success, and fame. The media provide a steady stream of subtle, inside jokes involving drug use that create an “everybody who’s cool does it” attitude. And today’s media, especially the Internet, is an endless source of information about how to obtain, use, and mask the use of drugs. This book is designed to be the first step for parents to get educated and increase their effectiveness in being counselors to their teens and dealing with teen drug use. You will learn what you need to know to avoid emotional pitfalls, identify the behavior of teen drug users, find factual information on drugs, get tough, and begin the process of saving your teen. Of course, should drug use progress, you must turn the process over to a professional. This book will also guide you in how to assess your situation, gauge the level of their teen’s problem, and find the best professional help to take over when it’s required.
