How To Help A Teenager With Drug Addiction

[@explorermike19]

This is pretty good and knowledgeable advice. Understanding the problem helps you with some of the frustration, but it doesn't really help you solve the problem of a teenager who is addicted to drugs. Once drugs have a hold on a teen, the drug rules them. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING can stop drugs control on teens. The teen thinks they know everything and they are in control, but eventually they learn that they are not in control and by that time, it is too late. Parents, protect yourselves first. Having a teen addict has the great potential of ruining every aspect of your life including your finances, your career, and your relationship with your spouse, your other family members, and your friends. They can ruin your health. My strong advice is to protect yourself from the manipulations of the teen addict first and worry about them next. Just like putting on the oxygen mask when the airplane is in trouble, you have to be able to breath yourself in order to help others.

My daughter is 14 years old she was in the hospital 5 months ago because of her drug use. She went to pine rest also when she got out she told me she wasnt going to do iit again. I have try to help her giving her she seeing a therapist but she dont like it she is not putting effort shevhates talking about it. I feel frustated n desperate feel like theres no way out n i cry a lot been thru a lot this past few months. She been clean 4 now but so afraid she will relapse again n this time is worst.

Maria, the best thing that you can do to help your daughter is to create and live an amazing life for yourself so that your daughter looks at you and your life and says “that’s the kind of life I want” then you will have much more influence with her. Also, we tend to attract what we focus on, so be happy and grateful that your daughter is doing well right now and focus on that rather than worry about what might happen in the future! Hang in there, I wish you the best!!! Also, I have other videos that you might find helpful on my channel

I think it will help cause drugs is something that u can never leave but the thing will help is to keep useing cause if u leave when u are a teenager u will use it again but when u leave like 29,30 u will leave it my brother he was useing drugs when he was a kid but now he is 27 he left it when he was 20 he said it's bad and he left it so u may stop it to one day but not😇 now

Easy to say find therapist for support. We can’t find anyone.
