[quote=Anonymous]Another option is for your DD to talk to the kids in question and offer to accompany them to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. Most are open, so non-users can attend. No one needs to say anything at the meetings. But there is socializing before and after and members will approach new comers to see if they can help. NA members know a lot more about dealing with addiction than almost any parent. And DD's friends are at an age where they need to take the first step and not have it imposed by their parents. This approach also keeps the issue among the kids, at least until they are ready to say they have a problem and need help. Your DD's plan to not say anything until a friend ODs or starts dealing is unrealistic. An OD can be deadly and in my experience heroin dealers usually are not users themselves. Not sure about other drugs except marijuana, for which dealers do tend to be users.[/quote]
