Drug rehab information

I truly hope that none of my readers need this information, but if you do, please follow the link to learn more about kids and drugs. Along with learning the terminology used by those who partake of illegal drugs, you can also learn about new rehab treatments including the use of cord blood and stem cells.

I read the stem cell information with great interest and appreciated the fact that they were not condescending to those of us who believe that embryonic stem cell research is morally wrong. They did offer both sides of this controversy, and it's up to us individually to decide which side of that fence we fall toward.

Mainly, though, the site is there to promote drug rehab options and to educate parents and others about the symptoms of drug abuse, the slang used by those who abuse drugs, how to stage an intervention, and the help that's available.

Their page called The Lighter Side is meant to give a certain shock value to those who participate in abusing drugs and other illegal activity. A bit coarse, but to the point, the cartoon I found would have surely given a teen who is involved in that world something to think about.

If you suspect at all that your teen may be involved in drug use, visit the site and educate yourself. You, the parent, are your child's first line of defense.
