Getting Past “No!”
Overcoming Resistance to Treatment in Teens and Young Adults.
Taking the First Step
If you suspect your child has a problem with drugs or alcohol, it’s important to get them professional help at the first sign of trouble. Rosecrance offers free confidential substance abuse assessments for teens and adults in person or by phone.
How do I know if my child has a substance abuse problem?
Mood swings, dilated pupils, change in sleeping patterns and eating habits, loss of interest in hobbies or activities, isolation, lower grades or increased tardiness in school, telling lies or giving unrealistic excuses, and using breath mints or air fresheners to cover scents are all possible signs of substance abuse.
