The impact of substance abuse has possed a great threat to the growth and potential accessibility to teenage population of our times. Assessment will determine the extent and nature of involvement and the consequent risk the adolescent is in. Those with a determined pattern of use will be referred for treatment. Those who are experimenting and are at the risk of deteriorating behavior will receive therapeutic group counseling that will also involve parent input through multifamily alternated sessions. Parents will be advised to uterize primary care physicians for urine screening and also supervise attendance to one 12 step group weekly.
