Bradley Hospital Parenting Guide: Alcohol and Drug Abuse

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.
