Sober Coaching Your Toxic Teen: An Interactive Guide for Teaching Parents and Primary Caregivers How to Manage a Drug Crisis

Sober Coaching the Toxic Teen teaches parents and caregivers how to manage two types of drug crises: the young person who is addicted to mind-affecting chemicals or the young person who may not yet be addicted, but has precipitated a crisis involving drugs. Not all teens who use drugs are addicts, yet using any illegal substances put them at risk for all manner of tragedy including the loss of life. This book is a management manual for the frantic parent and a resource for the professional to use with them. The reproducible handouts and worksheets are not only innovative, but important educational tools. This book is arranged so simply and clearly, that any panicked parent will be able to find the answers they need. It is parent-panic friendly and can be used with confidence either personally, with clients, or in community support groups.
