Why teens get involved with drugs and alcohol?

Teens become involved with drugs when socializing with peers for many reasons. Research indicates that at risk teens may display the following signs and symptoms: academic problems or difficulties, poor parent-teen relationship, being unaccountable and have large amounts of free time especially when minimal interests occur, family difficulties including parental separation, marital problems and poor relationships at home. Some teens who present mental problems are at a higher risk to becoming involved with substance abuse. Other reasons why some teens get involved with drugs and alcohol are lack of self esteem and a need for acceptance with a social group.

What should parents do if they find out their child is on drugs

The following signs and symptoms are observed when teens are using drugs or alcohol: reduction in academic grades or attendance, poor attitude when not related to chores or basic requests, avoidance of family members coupled with isolation and withdrawal, sleep changes, mood swings, change in peer group, change in hygiene and health, missing items such as IPOD’s MP3 players, electronics and computer games as they are sold or traded for substances.

If you suspect that your child is using drugs, you should talk to him/her about your suspicions avoiding direct accusations. This talk should take place when he/she is sober or straight, and you're calm. This will show your child that you still love him/her, but you are most concerned with what he/she is doing to him/herself.
Taking time to discuss the problem without turning away from it is an important first step on the road to recovery. Most important, act fast, seeking counseling from a certified mental health professional with experience in youth and substance abuse and treatment is critical for your child and family. A parent’s quick response and treatment for the teen and family is essential. We at Inspirations for Youth and Families offer you a place for hope.
