Do you have a teen
or pre-teen loved one that suffers from drug and/or alcohol abuse?
"Underage drinking presents an enormous public health issue. Alcohol
is the drug of choice among children and adolescents. Annually, about 5,000
youth under age 21 die from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries,
and homicides and suicides that involve underage drinking."
"In 2006, 1.4 million youth ages 12 to 17 needed treatment for an alcohol
problem. Of this group, only 101,000 of them received any treatment at a
specialty facility."

TEEN MARIJUANA ABUSE THE GATEWAY TO OTHER DRUGS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release)
January, 2011 -- The most used illegal drug in the United States
among teens is marijuana. Marijuana has maintained its popularity
for decades as the number one illicit drug in America. Marijuana
is often considered "safe," and is also considered
a "gateway drug" because of the teens’ perception
that it is mostly harmless. However, marijuana is mind altering
substance, and it does have very real and lasting effects on
the body.
Rumors about marijuana been better for your health than smoking
tobacco is actually just that, a myth. In reality, marijuana
smoke can have between 50 and 70 percent more harmful carcinogens
than is found in tobacco smoke.
The Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, Quality, Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Treatment
Episode Data Set, estimated 321,648 admissions in 2008. So
it is important to note that marijuana use can cause problems,
despite being considered "safe" by many.
Long-term studies of high school students and their patterns
of drug use show that very few young people use other drugs
without first trying marijuana. Though few young people use
cocaine, for example, the risk of doing so is much greater
for youth who have tried marijuana than for those who have
never tried it. Although research has not fully explained
this association, growing evidence suggests a combination
of biological, social, and psychological factors are involved.
If you suspect your child is marijuana, seek professional
help and remember these three C's: that 'you didn't Cause,
can't Control and can't Cure' your child's problems. But you
can and must take charge and seek help for your child. The
earlier you act upon your child’s addiction problems
the better off your child will be.
