Youth Drug Treatment
Can We Stop Our Youth From the Perils of Drug Abuse?
Drug Abuse Warning Network, which is a Public Health Surveillance System, indicates that Emergency Department episodes in drug-abuse have more than doubled in recent years according to surveys taken from 21 Metropolitan Cities in U.S. However, amongst youth ages 12 to 17, drug-related episodes have alarmingly quadrupled! Who is to blame? Is your child’s destiny a product of chance or a culmination of parental care?

Children, who are deprived of these two life-sustaining ingredients, often are driven to despair, depression and low self-esteem. This scenario lures the youngsters away from their family in a quest for ‘greener pastures.’ They indulge in meeting up with so-called friends in gay, seductive and mysterious places like the popular ‘joints’ and ‘dens.’ This often tends to land them into the depths of drug-addiction at a tender age. more…
