If parents, school personnel, or other significant persons in an adolescent's life observe these warning signs, a cooperative effort should be undertaken. An assessment should be made by a qualified professional to determine if alcohol/chemical dependency exits, or if another problem requiring professional help is present. Once an appropriate assessment is made, treatment alternatives can be explored with the adolescent and family members. Hamish White and his team at Recovery Counselling Services are experts at providing assessments and consultations in a timely, professional, and caring way. Give us a call, we can help.
