Help your teen avoid drugs

  • Summary

  • Given the spread of potent and potentially deadly opioids such as fentanyl, the dangers of youth experimentation with drugs are more serious than ever before. Young people and parents alike are often unaware of the risks of substance use. In this episode, I review some of the risk factors for drug use among young people, as well as the "buffers," including things that parents can pay attention to and do to reduce the likelihood that their teen will start using substances at an early age. I also discuss the impact of teen substance use on the developing brain and why early initiation of substance use is especially harmful to young people.
