ELECTION DAY
All of us in the field of drug and alcohol drug treatment hope that our newly elected officials come to realize that their policies can definitely have an impact on the lives of many when it comes to drug treatment versus incarceration.
However, no matter who is elected, the real drug policy is written at home and is enforced by parents.
Research shows that many kids attend drug infested schools and most are likely to have been exposed to illegal drugs and drinking. Research also finds that kids listen to their parents when it comes to drugs and are less likely to use drugs if they think their parents would object.
The point is, if your kids don’t do ever abuse drugs then whatever national strategy is developed will not involve you or your family.
After all, isn’t there enough government already?
If someone you know has already started abusing drugs, then call Narconon 877-413-3073.

Teenage Drinking
Under Age Drinking
Under age drinking affects many people, but none more than the drinkers themselves. Underage drinkers are more likely to drop out of school, use drugs and engage in unsafe sexual practices. Decisions made at age 15 or 16 can set the stage for a life destined for failure.
It is up to the adults to make the truth available – not alcohol to our youth. Don’t let teens learn the hard way that underage drinking can lead them to a place they really don’t want to go.
Support leaders who discourage alcohol advertising to youth and talk to you kids often about the dangers of drinking. They are getting plenty of communication encouraging them to drink and you will have to be heard over the din. Fortunately, down deep they respect you more than anyone else.
If you know someone with a drinking problem, send them to Narconon – we have a 76% success rate. 877-413-3073

What's in your medicine cabinet?
WHAT’S IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET?
Sadly, the mother of Aaron Mason is on the wrong side of drug education and prevention-she learned too late about the dangers of prescription drugs and lost her son.
Now her voice is amongst the growing number of concerned citizens that are sounding the alarm - prescription medications are making their way from the medicine cabinet into the school yard. Traveling far from their designated recipient Xanax, morphine, Valium, Percocet and Oxycontin are taken from the family medicine cabinet and brought to school, passed around and often ingested right on the school grounds.
Often these drugs are the theme of “pharm” parties, where the “party goers” are too bleary eyed and doped up to have a good time.
Parents should suspect that their children are being exposed to these drugs in one way or another – even if they are just aware of the fact that they are at school. It is something that must be brought up around the dinner table, because if kids don’t learn the truth about drugs at home, they are going to learn the lies about drugs at school.
If parents find any pharmaceutical drugs they should immediately suspect that there is probably already some element of addiction and get their kid some help- fast. These drugs are dangerous and addictive and are nothing to play around with.
If you need to know the signs of drug abuse or what to do with someone you know is already abusing drugs, then call Narconon. We will send you a free brochure on the signs of drug abuse and help educate you on drug rehab.
