Today’s episode is our 60th and we zeroed in on this topic because recently, I’ve been seeing more questions about teen drug and alcohol issues in online groups and forums. These questions cover everything from punishments to at-home drug tests. Learn the answers in this episode featuring Richard Capriola, author of The Addicted Child, A Parents Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse (or available on Amazon)
