What’s Wrong with My Kid?
When Drugs or Alcohol Might Be a Problem and What To Do About It
Author: George E. Leary Jr.
Raising a teenager is never easy. But when you start to suspect your child may be abusing drugs or alcohol, the fear, confusion, and helplessness can feel overwhelming. What’s Wrong with My Kid? is a down-to-earth, judgment-free guide for parents, offering the clarity and hope you need to take action.
Author George E. Leary Jr., MA, spent years working with youth before facing the painful reality of his own son’s addiction. That experience changed the course of his life and led him to dedicate himself to helping families just like yours. With compassion and honesty, he explains how to recognize the signs of substance abuse and what you can do about it.
In this book, you’ll learn:
- The warning signs of drug and alcohol use in teens.
- How to intervene effectively and find the right treatment for both your child and your family.
- The biology of addiction and how drugs affect developing brains and bodies.
- Why co-occurring mental health issues are common among teens who use substances.
- The role families play in both enabling and supporting recovery.
- The types of treatment available, including the Twelve Step model.
- How substance use increases the risk of teen suicide—and what to do about it.
Above all, What’s Wrong with My Kid? reminds parents that they are not alone. With practical guidance, hard-earned wisdom, and genuine empathy, George E. Leary Jr. provides a lifeline to families navigating the most difficult of times, showing that recovery and healing are possible.
