When it comes to youth and substance abuse, there are two main situations to consider.  The first involves the child abusing a substance him or herself and the second type of scenario is the child being exposed to someone with a substance abuse issue, whether by a parent, sibling, grandparent, or someone else close to him or her.

 

Talking to your children about substance abuse should start long before you suspect that there’s a problem. If you reach them early enough, you may even prevent drug or alcohol use all together.
