What is this about?

Drug and alcohol abuse takes an enormous toll on families. It may be a factor in two thirds of all admissions to foster care. This lesson will provide an introduction to drug abuse. It also contains a link to an extensive chart with photos and descriptions of many illegal drugs.

What will I learn?

• How to identify common drugs
• The effects of different drugs on users
• Some reasons why young people abuse drugs and alcohol
• The new policy on psychotropic drugs

What's in it for me?

By learning more about illegal drugs and their effects you will be better able to determine if your children are using drugs and help them stop.
