How to Talk to Your Teen about Drugs and Partying
According to Drugfree.org, only 10 percent of the estimated 1.4 million teens with substance abuse problems receive treatment. Don’t let your child be another sad statistic. If you think your teen is using drugs or drinking, take action. The sooner you address the problem, the less likely that their experimentation will lead to abuse and addiction. Immediately begin to more closely monitor your teen’s activities and set up reasonable rules and consequences that are enforceable. The most important thing you can do as a parent is not deny that a drug or alcohol problem exists. If the problem is beyond your ability to handle, ask for help. There are many drug and alcohol treatment programs that are tailored to teens.

My son jeffereson has a terrible heroin addiction. He shoots up every day and sometimes he sneaks into my room at night when im sleeping and he sticks his needles into me because he thinks If i am addicted as well I wont punish him for his use. He broke my foot last week because I tried to stop him from stealing money from my purse! What should I do? I dont want to contact the police because I dont want to loose my baby!
Sincerely, Margaret
Iam sorry to hear that and i hope everything gets better with your son and you.take him to rehab in the end hell thank you for turning his life around.its a long bumpy road but just hang in there.
Margaret,
In reply to your comment about your son’s heroin addiction. Until he is ready to stop using there is going to be little you can do about him stopping. I will add, however, since you aren’t willing to send your baby boy to do a short jail stay be prepared, be very prepared…….the stealing, lying, severly bad attitude’s and random rants of rage are going to become a regular occurrance in your home until you are truly ready to show him some “Tough Love.” I know it will be hard to do this to your son, but think, you just might be saving his life!!! Because the dope game and life hustlin on the streets is alot more dangerous than a weekend in jail or a stint in rehab!!! Wishing and praying for the best for the both of you!! I am a recovering drug addict myself by the way.
Weed is not addictive. Never has been-never will be. You can become psychologically addicted to pot–but you can become psychologically addicted to anything: cars, Popsicles, collecting shoes, etc.
Society is realizing prescriptions and alcohol are way more dangerous than weed.
Rx and Alcohol death toll: billions
Weed death toll: 0
Hardcore drugs (coke): millions
put him in rehab!!!!!! he is a danger to not only him self but you too!!!!
Not true. Weed is addictive for ~11% of the population that uses it. The physical withdrawal effects for those addicted last around one week. Alcohol is much more addictive and is even worse for your health. See nida.nih.gov for statistics.
First of all, give the kid weed. it will ease him off the heroin.and no one gets hurt of weed.
Multiple studies have shown that Marijuana use does not effect your health what so ever. Nor does it lead to use of harder drugs. It is a natural thing that relaxes users and gives them a sense of content and happiness. It should be legalized for recreational, and medicinal use. No one has ever died from Marijuana. But so many people are killed daily because of Alcohol and other drugs. Stop worrying about Pot. Let people do what they want. Concern yourself with real problems.
There is help , and a way to get out of an addiction . Ive been clean for thirty years , and i recently just stopped smoking . i am now 57 , been smoking since i was 16 . there is much better life after practicing abstinence with sex & drugs . take it from someone who used to be an addict . god turned my life around , i am now going to church every sunday and life is just great .
Don’t give him weed HE NEEDS SUBOXONE! Get him on a Suboxone program. It works. And he might even thank you.
Margaret,
I know u don’t want to call the police but by not doing so u r enabling his drug use to escalate. Sometimes love is doing the hard thing and letting go so he will reach a place where he has no one to save him. You can only go up once you’ve hit the very bottom. Not allowing him to hit his bottom will only allow his drug use to continue.
Margaret, my sister’s goin thru the same thing wit her son. U have to give him tuff love and let him hit his “rock bottom”! My sis gives her son money and babies him, (he’ll never stop)! I was a heroin addict too & my mom did the same thing that my sis is doin. It took me 20 yrs to finally wake up! I lost 20 yrs of my life cause I never hit my rock bottom. I try to explain it to my sis but she don’t listen. I know he’s your baby, but you’re only hurtin him by enabling him! Next time he steals from you, call the cops & press charges! You’ll be savin his life! Trust someone who’s been there! I’m lucky I didn’t die like the rest of my friends! If you keep enabling him, he may get a bad disease (& give it to you), he may be headed for life in prison or he may be headed somewhere worst, GOD forbid! Trust me, enabling him is the worst thing u can do! TOUGH LOVE, he’ll thank you down the line!
Margaret, I am an ex user I have used just about everything during my high school days I mean I’m only 24 now so it wasn’t to long ago I know how bad drugs take over our mind especially herion I used it maybe twice I preferred the pills over the H, but I had a daughter and made myself get clean.. I detoxed all natural worst week of my life safest way to detox on H is the suboxine program.. Its an Opiate blocker that will ease him off of the H.. Very possible he will abuse the suboxine so you should give it to him daily so rehab. Or suboxine program.. Or lock him up for a week in the house and let him withdrawal and its not fun I’ve been through it worse thing ever but if you put yourself into the situation then you should suffer the withdrawals like a man then look back on what you went through getting off the junk cause its not fun ill never put myself through that again.. Not worth losing everything I love.
