And because I think that it's safe to say that going through our kids rooms is never going to be a super exciting or happy feeling for them, and that's ok, they don't have to love the actions that you take and attempts to keep them safe- I think what they do, what you owe it to them to do, is to be honest and authentic about that.
Talking to your teen about substance abuse can feel like navigating a minefield, but it’s a crucial conversation. In this episode of The Real Common Treatable Podcast, host Clint Mally sits down with Sarah Fletcher, the Chief Clinical Officer at Sandstone Care, to tackle this tough topic head-on. Sarah offers practical advice on how to approach these sensitive discussions with your teen or young adult.
She breaks down the different forms of substance abuse and explains how quickly it can spiral into addiction. Sarah also highlights the importance of recognizing early warning signs like isolation and mood swings, emphasizing the need for timely intervention.

She also dives into the most commonly abused substances among teens and young adults, shedding light on the potential therapeutic benefits of true CBD. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder to maintain honesty and authenticity in all conversations about substance abuse. This episode is a must-listen for any parent or guardian looking to support their teen through these challenging issues.
