Bradley Hospital Parenting Guide:
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Alcohol and Drugs
Can Destroy a Family
While much is written and aired on TV about alcohol and drugs,
most families are surprisingly unprepared to deal with problems
of misuse and abuse in their families because there is a stigma
attached to anyone with a drug or alcohol problem. Many parents
feel that "normal" families don't have these problems,
or that they have failed as parents if their child has a problem.
Parents might repress their fears or deny real problems.
You Can Count on Bradley
Bradley Hospital's main concern is for the emotional well-being
of children and their families.
Professional staff members can evaluate or treat all types of disorders,
including alcohol and drug use and abuse and concurrent emotional
disorders. The whole family is encouraged to participate in all
phases of treatment.
There are many community service options, as well. Bradley will
act as a liaison with them on your behalf if they are appropriate
for your family's needs.

evaluation to help you get advice and answers to your questions.
