AlbakiReads Editorial

Substance use disorder, family engagement, and youth

Veronica Lazarus combines her perspective as a physician with her experience supporting her son’s recovery from substance use disorder. The book frames addiction as a subject for families and communities to understand, connecting young people’s substance use with isolation, pain, and mental illness as described in the publisher’s account. It calls attention to the role of parents, schools, and other community settings in engaging with young people, and presents education as a way to support them during vulnerable periods. The emphasis is on family experience, public awareness, and the effects of substance use disorder on young people and those around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families seeking a personal and educational perspective on substance use disorder and recovery.
  • Readers interested in youth substance use, family involvement, and community awareness.
  • School and community audiences looking for a discussion of substance use disorder among young people.

Book overview

The drug industry is probably the most profitable in America. This includes prescribed and street drugs. Parents and families, we must educate ourselves.

Our involvement and serious engagement with our children are necessary. The young people you see in the schools, universities, churches, synagogue, and mosques, in both professional and amateur sports, need our engagement to help them overcome these overwhelming forces, isolation, pain, and mental illness that is driving them to self-medicate.

In support of her son recovering from Substance Use Disorder, Dr. Lazarus has embarked on extensive training in the disease of addiction and the damage to society at large and the unacceptable deaths of young people in America. She is determined to use her son's story and struggle, and the education she has acquired as a physician, to educate the public, families and schools about how we can all help kids at a point in life when they are most vulnerable
