TEENAGE DRUG ADDICTION Notes from May 13, 2017 WNYT-TV Interview with Dan Bazile



 We have BAD news and Good news - - -
First, THE BAD
·         As we hear almost daily, there’s an ever-increasing number of teenage drug addiction cases, deaths, etc.
·         Addiction SUCCESS is VERY LOW –
·         90% (!!!) of drug rehab clients FAIL or FALL BACK
·         Success rate is approximately 10% - nationally!
·         The HUGE cost is not just $$$$ – it’s HUGE and long-term
·         Stress, family strife, aggravation and worry for the family as well as the teen
·         The effects are ALWAYS long-term – for life!!
·         Parents – it’s time to pay attention
·         Stop telling yourself – “maybe others, but not my kid”
·         PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pay attention
·         Please go to this link for signs and indicators:  

But there’s GOOD NEWS!!
A positive and preventative strategy!
