Book excerpt: This comprehensive Teen Drug Education and Awareness Guide is an All Inclusive Professional Facilitator's Guide for Teachers, Therapists, and Facilitators.

The study is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health. The Teen Drug Education and Awareness Guide is a 11-session group educational guide designed to address the specific needs of today's youth, their families and educators regarding drug education and awareness. The Guide is complete with worksheet activities, a rationale for each lesson and complete learning objectives. The Program is a moderate-intensity group-based approach designed to address teen substance abuse education and awareness designed for professional teachers, therapist and counselors.

This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All across the United States, individuals, families, communities, and health care systems are struggling to cope with substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders. Substance misuse and substance use disorders have devastating effects, disrupt the future plans of too many young people, and all too often, end lives prematurely and tragically. Substance misuse is a major public health challenge and a priority for our nation to address. The effects of substance use are cumulative and costly for our society, placing burdens on workplaces, the health care system, families, states, and communities. The Report discusses opportunities to bring substance use disorder treatment and mainstream health care systems into alignment so that they can address a person's overall health, rather than a substance misuse or a physical health condition alone or in isolation. It also provides suggestions and recommendations for action that everyone-individuals, families, community leaders, law enforcement, health care professionals, policymakers, and researchers-can take to prevent substance misuse and reduce its consequences.
