Why Every Parent Needs to Know about "Gateway Drugs"

Marijuana and alcohol may seem like harmless recreational substances but studies show that they can lead to serious drug addiction. 

Gateway drug - a drug (such as alcohol or marijuana) whose use is thought to lead to the dependence on a harder drug (such as cocaine or heroin).

Recovery Addict, Dana Kippel, Speaks to Inspirations Teens 

This former teen addict lost the most important people in her life and her entire high school experience because of addiction. Today, she is proud to have celebrated five years of sobriety. 

Recently, Dana visited Inspirations to encourage our teens to overcome drug abuse by sharing her recovery story.

Thank You
Dear Joseph,

Thank you for helping us raise over $100,000 this holiday season to empower parents in need.

Because of you, we can continue to offer free resources and unparalleled one-on-one support for families struggling with their child's substance use disorder. Thousands of parents are receiving support through our Parent Helpline, chat and Facebook messenger service, providing them with tailored solutions and action plans.

And, your generosity has allowed us to train more parent coaches who are paired with parents seeking guidance and understanding from someone who has walked in their shoes.

As we enter 2018, we know that we have more families to reach. This is an extraordinary time in America. Across the country, opioid abuse — including prescription opioids and heroin — continues to grow, killing more than 33,000 people annually, more than any year on record and more than at the peak of the HIV epidemic and families are turning to the Partnership for help.

This year we will train even more parent coaches, expand our Parent Support Specialist team, develop more education and action-oriented resources to provide support because no family should have to face this disease alone.

Thank you for helping ensure we can be there for parents who are in need of hope and healing. We couldn't do this lifesaving work without you.

Sincerely,

Fred Muench, Ph.D.
