We understand how frightening it can be to realize you might have a problem with alcohol or drugs - or to realize that a friend of yours might be abusing drugs or alcohol. Faced with this dilemma, we often don't know where to go for information, who to trust, or what to do to help. 

We invite you to explore the information under this heading as well as the rest of our site. We also encourage you to reach out for help. You do not have to face this alone. There are other youth in the same situation as you, who want to help. There is no shame or stigma with this disease, and there is definitely no shame in asking for help.
