My take on that is that no child is immune from being captured by addiction...there is no purity in these street drugs.
Picture this: your once cheerful teen starts showing signs of distress, and you suspect substance abuse. What do you do? In this eye-opening episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Rick Capriola, an experienced mental health and addiction specialist, to discuss his book 'The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Saving Lives'. Capriola offers a compassionate roadmap for parents navigating the treacherous waters of adolescent addiction.
Drawing from his extensive career at the Menninger Clinic, one of America's top psychiatric hospitals, Rick shares invaluable insights into the intertwined nature of mental health issues and substance abuse. He emphasizes that effective treatment plans must address both aspects to be successful. Rick also provides practical advice on obtaining comprehensive assessments that cover medical, psychological, and addiction issues. He stresses the importance of vigilance and staying attuned to any behavioral changes in your child.
Throughout the episode, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of adolescent addiction, including the dangers of vaping, nicotine addiction, and genetic predispositions. Rick's message is clear: no child is immune, but with education, prevention, and a proactive approach, parents can make a significant difference. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to safeguard their child's future.
