Adolescence is a time of experimentation and pushing the boundaries. Teenagers change their behavior, their clothes, their hairstyles, and their looks, as they go about developing and discovering who they are as a person. This experimentation often may extend into the use of drugs and alcohol. This course will explore the implications of the abuse of these substances and guide you through a realistic understanding of the challenges both you and your children face. You will learn how to identify and approach the problem. This course will also guide you in learning about addiction and treatment options to manage abuse abusive behavior, and finally you will learn about the maintenance of drug-free behavior.
