Behavior Problems

Join Together reports that a New Study by the Center for the Advancement of Health reports that physicians “are ignoring national health guidelines by failing to discuss high-risk behavioral issues like alcohol and other drug misuse and safety concerns with teens,”



While it is commonly known that parents make the biggest impact on their teens, the more teens hear that drugs are bad for them, the better. For the most part there is an onslaught of misinformation or at the very least temptation to do drugs. Prescription drugs, marijuana and even heroin – our teens hear a lot about these drugs. There needs to be some balance of information in the other direction.



Doctors can help skip the scales in the direction of the truth about drugs. They are respected and from their perspective can most definitely do a good job of informing teens of the real safety issues involved with drug use.



Let’s push to get these national health guidelines implemented.



In addition to providing effective drug treatment and education, Narconon collaborates with and supports any group that is behind effective prevention. It is too big of a job for Narconon to do alone.
