I found a cheat sheet with instructions for parents about how to prevent and detect addiction.
Here is a summary of the important bits:
*Acquire knowledge about drugs and what impact they have
*Communicate with other parents to your kid's friends
*Make plans with other parents about driving the kids to and from parties
*Stay awake when your kid comes home late
*Demand to know where and with who they spent time on the evenings
*Don't accept that your teenager drinks alcohol and never give them any at home
*Spend time with your kid, do things together and develop interests to have in common
*Give them support and encouragement and show them that you love them for who they are.
*Trust you intuition!
Hopefully these tips will be helpful for you parents!

Are you a relative of a person who has an addiction problem? Alcohol, drugs and other addictions have destructive consequences for those who are close. It could be your parent, your child, partner, colleague or another person you care much about. Are you often worried about the person and a lot of your energy goes into trying to help the addict? This blog aims to provide support, knowledge and share experiences about being affected of someone else´s substance use.
