It is important for parents to realize that drug use does not always mean dependence. Only a very small number of teenagers who use drugs will develop drug dependence or drug addiction-a strong desire to continue using drugs because they have become an important part of their daily lives. If your child has become addicted, we hope these pages will provide information and insight that will help.
