This book is a practical, hands-on resource that brings you up-to-date with the substances teens are most likely to abuse, where they get them, and how to identify the signs of substance abuse. Included are solutions for difficult situations such as:

• When a student admits he is using drugs
• When a student says she has a friend, sibling, or parent who uses drugs
• When you need to call a social worker
• When you need to call law enforcement

Following the entire cycle of substance abuse, from experimentation to use to treatment and recovery, What Adults Need to Know about Kids and Substance Use provides a comprehensive, realistic, and optimistic look at working with kids and drugs.
