The teenage years are difficult for nearly all of us. The changing natures of our bodies, the changing role within the family as we reach adulthood and the new roles that we take on in society as we're coming of age. Rebellion, gullibility and confusion are common challenges that teenagers and their parents both face, but when you add the powerful personality altering component of a drug addiction the challenge is dramatically more difficult to cope with. Many parents find their lives turned upside down when they figure out that their teen is using meth.
If you've got suspicions that your teenage son or daughter might be abusing methamphetamine, you are advised to act on those suspicions. Watch your money carefully, pay attention to who your children are hanging out with and watch for signs of drug abuse such as noticeable differences in their eyes, breath or usual behavior patterns. The very first thing you will want to do is simply sit your child down and ask them directly. If your children trust you they may find relief in being able to share as heavy of a burden as meth addiction. No one ever tries meth hoping they will become unable to go about their daily lives without a throbbing need for the drug. Try to be understanding instead of accusatory because if your teen truly is hooked on meth you will need a solid relationship with them based on trust if you hope to help them beat the powerful compulsions that this drug creates in those who use it.
First and foremost, you need to educate yourself. Any meth user, teenage or adult, needs rehab of some form or another. This is not a simple drug to escape, every user needs experienced help. Use the web to research not just the drug itself, but the effects. Your children need real world examples not wild theories of what might happen to them. Find testimonies and proof. Find success stories, keep their spirits up and never, ever give up the fight to help them get their lives back under their own control.
