Drugs and Your Kid

Peter Rogers is the administrative director of Haight Ashbury Psychological Services, and that real-world clinical grounding shows throughout this guide. Rather than handing parents a single script, Drugs and Your Kid matches intervention strategies to different parenting styles and teen personalities — a genuinely useful approach, since families vary enormously. The coverage of outpatient versus residential treatment decisions is especially practical for parents who've moved past denial and need to know what comes next. The honest caveat is age: published in 2002, this book predates synthetic opioids, vaping, and a generation of designer substances that are now front and center for many families. The framework holds; the drug-specific details may need supplementing with current sources.
