Go Ask Julian - Community-Based Solutions

Adolescent use of mood altering substances has taken on a new face. The risks are much greater now, today, than ever before. More teens abuse prescription painkillers than any other drug—second only to marijuana.

More teens switch to heroin simply because it is cheaper and available. And why not? It’s just another drug, isn’t it? No. Simply, no.

It is difficult for older teens to find others who are trying a live a drug free life. Isolation is the number one reason why teens return to drug use. “How can I have a social life if I don’t use?” That is the biggest problem. The second biggest problem is parents doing the right thing.
