So I think it's important that parents understand that the earlier they recognize the signs, the earlier they get the assessments and, if needed, the treatment, you can have a positive outcome, because we know that treatment works and there are different treatment alternatives out there for parents.
Parenting a teenager can be tough, but when addiction enters the picture, it can feel downright overwhelming. In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery with Jodie Stevens', therapist and addiction counselor Richard Capriola sheds light on the unique challenges of teenage substance abuse. Capriola dives into the differences between adult and teen addiction, offering crucial insights that every parent should hear.
You'll learn about the substances that are most commonly used by teens today, how the pandemic has shifted these trends, and why early intervention is key to a successful recovery. With a focus on comprehensive assessments and the critical role they play, Capriola provides practical advice on how to talk to your kids about drugs and what to look for in a treatment provider.
He also highlights the connection between substance abuse and mental health, emphasizing the importance of addressing both issues simultaneously. Whether you're a parent worried about your child's behavior or someone looking to understand more about adolescent addiction, this episode offers valuable guidance and support.
