Partnership to End Addiction

Hi Friend,,

Realizing that your teen or young adult child needs help for their substance use or addiction can be overwhelming, and you are not alone if you have no idea where to begin. There is no one-size-fits-all approach so it can take a fair amount of research to figure out what type of help your loved one needs and how to get it.

No matter where you are emotionally, mentally or physically, Partnership to End Addiction is here to help. In the next episode of our yearlong YouTube video series, Marcus Daugherty, VP Diversity, Equity and Inclusion responds to some of the most frequently asked questions we hear from parents and family members as they navigate the treatment system, such as:

How do I find quality treatment?
What red flags should I be aware of when seeking treatment?
How do I motivate my loved one to go?
How to I pay for treatment?
What if I don’t have insurance?

Getting the right treatment for your child is a process, and navigating the health care system requires careful examination, determination and some caution.

You can watch this episode and previous episodes here on drugfree.org. This new video series will feature a variety of topics, voices and stories all year long.
