WATCH THIS VIDEO if you want to better UNDERSTAND the Effects of Alcohol and other Drugs on the Adolescent Brain - and why someone that is battling the disease of addiction can not "just stop" on their own.

• Adolescence can be a time of experimentation with drugs and alcohol.  Unfortunately, it is also a time that the brain is still developing. 

• Early drug and alcohol use raises the chance of persisting neurological changes and has a fourfold or greater risk of addiction developing as compared to an adult brain. 

• Ken Thompson, M.D., FASAM; Medical Director, Caron Treatment Centers.

• In april 2012, Dr. Thompson shared the current neuroscience of substance use and addiction and its relevance to the adolescent drug and alcohol user. 

• Chilling evidence supports the need for early intervention and not just accepting drug and alcohol use as a phase that kids go through.
