Your Son Needs a Drug Class
Your back is flaring up again. You head to the medicine cabinet and pull out your Vicodin (which of course you only use when your cotton-picken’ back goes out. Your bottle is almost empty. You could have sworn you had just refilled the prescription last time you had needed your medication. There should be almost 30 pills in the bottle.
You know you’re not crazy. You ask your wife if she had to take any of your pain medication. She says no. There is only one other person living in the house – your son. What do you do? How do you handle this situation?
Intervention and quick response are key. First, if you are reasonably certain it is your son you can either confront him first, or catch him in the act (count the pills and when one goes missing confront).
Prescription drug abuse is as bad as any other – marijuana, cocaine or alcohol. You need to take immediate steps. A good drug class is a place to start. Perhaps an online drug class you can take together.
The key is to address the situation right away. Arm both yourself and your son with information on the dangers of drug abuse. You take the drug class and have him take the Minor in Possession Class!
