This episode is intended for parents who have children (of any age) either increasingly using drugs recreationally, or with a diagnosed substance use disorder. Dr. Cohen explains when substance use becomes a "disorder," as well as general concepts of use. We explore harm-reduction and abstinence based approaches, as well as what parents can do to support.
