Is Drug Addiction Hereditary?
Is drug addiction hereditary? There is quite a bit of evidence to support the idea that drug addiction can be a hereditary and genetically inherited addiction. Those with other family members that struggle with drug addiction are going to be more susceptible to being addicted to drugs if they ever begin abusing drugs.
Drug Testing Teens
Drug testing teens can be a sensitive issue. This article has information on how teen drug and alcohol tests work, what drugs are commonly tested for, the pros and cons of drug testing teens, and options available to parents who wish to have their teenager drug tested.
Teen DXM Abuse
Teen DXM Abuse is on the rise. DXM, or dextromethorphan, is found in most over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. Because DXM can be bought legally and is easy to get, teens don't realize how dangerous it is. Help your teen realize the dangers of DXM.
Substance Abuse Counseling
Teen substance abuse counseling can help a teenager stop abusing any addictive substance. As teens take steps to recover from addiction, whether in a drug rehab or with the help of others, substance abuse counseling can assist in their recovery process.
