I have created a seriess of articles on teen binge drinking, substance usage and abusage and substance dependence to assist in determining whether a loved one has a clinical problem with substance abuse. You can find these articles at http://mental-health.families.com/bl...nce-dependence

Further articles on drug and drug abuse can also been found by clicking on the Substance Abuse Disorders in the Mental Health blog.

Appreciate that you are sharing this series, Beth.

It is never easy knowing that a loved one truly has a disease
and
whether it be an adult, or a teen, we all need to be aware
of what assistance is available.

Thanks, Angie. Knowledge is power, even in this seemingly powerless situation. I hope this series is of use to readers.
