Two psychologists with 50 years experience treating chemical dependency in adolescents gives parents the insider's perspective on how to tell if their child has a drug or alcohol problem and what to do about it. In this new guide, the former director of the Haight Ashbury Clinic teams up with a licensed psychologist to give parents an insider's perspective on how they can best help their kids. They show readers how to diagnose their child's problem and provide a comprehensive glossary of drug terms that includes the latest slang and the names of the newest drugs of choice to help parents understand what their kids are really talking about. When alcohol or drug abuse is the problem, Drugs and Your Kid provides parents with the strategies they need to intervene successfully-all based on the newest and most effective treatments for drug and alcohol abuse. Rather than the "one size fits all" approach taken by other programs, the authors offer a variety of tried-and-true intervention styles to enable parents to match up their own parenting style with their child's personality. Also included are crucial tips to help parents avoid the kinds of parenting decisions that don't work and invaluable suggestions for setting limits, dealing with uncooperative teens, and making informed decisions about outpatient and residential treatment programs. This is a life-saving and family-saving guide that arms parents with the information and support they need.
