Episode 76: A Guide to the Addicted Child (featuring Richard Capriola)

“My child has a problem with alcohol and drugs” is a frightening reality for any parent.  Parents aren’t automatically given the knowledge and resources to help a child who uses, experiences problems, or has a substance use disorder.  When a child does use alcohol or drugs or begins to experience problems, what resources do parents have?  Richard Capriola, author of “The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse” shares his experience in working with children, adolescents, and their parents and his incredibly valuable resource for helping families.
