Drug Rehab Q & A: How Do I Keep My Daughter Off Drugs?

October 23, 2007

In recent months we’ve all heard about Britney Spears shaving her head or getting drunk with strangers, Lindsay Lohan wearing an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet and Nicole Richie getting a DUI. As a parent, you might be asking yourself what happened to these girls. At one point they were young and fresh, and probably the last people you would expect to wind up in drug rehab – maybe they were just like your daughter.

Maybe you think they turned out like that because they live in cities like L.A. or because they are young, beautiful, rich celebrities. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Drugs and alcohol are abused in just about every environment in the U.S. If you think that your small town, or your kid, is immune you may get a big wake up call when you find yourself desperately searching for an alcohol or drug rehab program.

Have you ever asked yourself “Could this happen to my daughter?”. The answer, unfortunately, is yes. And it may really be a problem if your daughter is one of the many who idolize the Britneys, Linsdeys and Nicoles of the world. Those girls make everything you want to avoid for your daughter look like fun! Even drug rehab is just another laugh.

How do you prevent it? Educate yourself and your daughters about the dangers of drugs and alcohol and, if you’ve already left it too late, contact a good drug rehab program counselor who can help you find the help they need.
