Dealing with Adolescent Substance Abuse

Estimated time to complete the course is 60 minutes.

Adolescence is a time of experimentation and pushing the boundaries. Teenagers change their behavior, their clothes, their hairstyles, and their looks, as they go about developing and discovering who they are as a person. This experimentation often may extend into the use of drugs and alcohol.
