"I bought this book and read it before talking to a drug counseler. This was the #1 book recommended by them. I found it extremely useful, and helpful in that I felt much more in control after understanding the issues that teens face when facing an addiction. I particularly found the stage of use/abuse outlined in the book to be exactly like what the professional abuse counselers used. Highly recommend!"

• This is truely an easy to read, step-by-step book. Explaining first the teenager's brain and thinking and what stresses a teenager has in their life, then going on to reasons for drug use, and practical, tangible ways to deal with it. This is a great book for any parent of a teenager to read, whether or not they have found their child trying drugs. It is a great "heads up" informative sourcebook. I esp liked the section on what special emotional needs that teens are looking to have fulfilled during adolescence. It is really helpful to read that as a parent of any teenager.
• Great book for any parent who is dealing with a teen taking drugs or using alcohol. Gives step by step advice on how to deal with occasional users as well as severe addicts. I've read a few other books on the subject, and this is the best by far. It's 140 pages of clear and to the point guidance. Bravo to the author, Mr. Schaefer.
• I bought this book and read it before talking to a drug counseler. This was the #1 book recommended by them. I found it extremely useful, and helpful in that I felt much more in control after understanding the issues that teens face when facing an addiction. I particularly found the stage of use/abuse outlined in the book to be exactly like what the professional abuse counselers used. Highly recommend!
• very informative,gives a good over view of drug related issues, would highly recommend to all parents, the only negative is a lot of repetition and perhaps the book needs to be up dated as it may be over a decade old
• I thought this book was dated and not very realistic.
• Great information written in an easy read..parenting info is to the mark...addiction second half of book.
• This is good for parents.
• Easy to follow and reasuring advice which is easy to put into practise. Although the school system is based on the American which is very different to the Spanish I think in general you can hope to get the same support from the same resourses.
