Myndtalk With Dr. Pamela Brewer

Addicted Kids-Our Lost Generation: Understanding and Treating Teens with Addiction In Teen Addiction, husband-and-wife team Dr. Ronald P. Santasiero and Dr. Cherie Santasiero share their personal and professional insights from years of treating young drug addicts, using traditional and holistic medicine. According to the Santasiero's "too often we look at teen addicts as bad kids whose lack of motivation gets them into their predicament--and keeps them there. But research shows that addiction is more like a disease, not a lack of willpower. What can we do to prevent teen addiction, and how can we help young adults already suffering from substance abuse. If our society doesn't start addressing this epidemic of teen addiction soon, we will lose a significant portion of our next generation.
