Drug abuse is like a communicable disease it spreads - by example, by word of mouth, and by imitation. Drug abuse is certainly increasing, but so are the number of young people who has tried drugs and want out. As we provide treatment services for them. These young people become able to tell other youth that the drug scene is not as great as they thought they was, before they got hooked.

If they are to talk to their children about drugs, they must be informed, usually they know far less about drugs than do their children. Ideally, before their child is tempted to experiment, they will have be able to explain to him the undesirability of the drugged life.
