The Cycle of Addiction
The teen brain is a work in progress and thus the younger a person is when they begin using the more vulnerable they are to subsequent drug and alcohol addiction. This workshop focuses on the science behind addiction, as well as the physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms that manifest in a teen during each stage of use from early experimentation to chemical dependency. Advice is given on how to appropriately aid a student in getting the help they need to break the cycle of addiction.
