Not In My House: What Parents Can Do About Teen Prescription Drug Abuse
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Abbott created www.notinmyhouse.com — a national education initiative that provides parents with useful information and tips to help limit teen access to prescription drugs.
The website offers insight on talking about the dangers of prescription drug misuse and abuse with teens, helps explain how the teen brain may make them more vulnerable to addiction, details the teen drug culture and lingo, and gives three simple steps parents can take to help secure their homes: monitor, secure and dispose.
