Ways to prevent teen addiction to help you and your teen live a healthy and bright life

 

7. Be a good role model

If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Use prescription drugs only as directed by your physician and stay away from illicit drugs.

8. Don’t Give in to Peer Pressure

Teenagers and young adults often experiment with drugs to portray a cool image in front of their peers – even on social media. In today’s digital age, it’s important for parents and educators to address this issue by creating image to video presentations that highlight the real-life consequences of drug and alcohol abuse, showing young people the importance of making informed and responsible choices.
