[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is 17 and his drug of choice is marijuana. He has a drug treatment counselor who we just had him start seeing, a psychiatrist, and a regular counselor. DS has a lot.of mental health issues related to his gender identity/sexuality. He has a lot of emotional dysregulation and feels the marijuana relaxes him. However, he went from being a casual user to a heavy user over the last 2 years. Is the best approach harm reduction or total abstinence? The drug counselor is on board for harm reduction while my extended family feel like we should push for abstinence.[/quote] This is abnormal and dysfunctional behavior. Most people are not dealing with teen substance abuse. For most normal people it would be total abstinence for their teens - no drugs, no hook ups, no stealing, no drinking, no vaping, no gambling, no acting in porn, no sexting, no sex work, no breaking the law, no shooting other people...
