Teens, Addiction and Substance Abuse-Part 1 (Episode 78) It may come as no surprise that we are living in the midst of a teenage mental health crisis. In this episode I'm joined by Richard Capriola who is a therapist, substance abuse counselor, and author of the book The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse. In this episode we talk about what often gets missed or overlooked in the assessment of teen addiction or substance abuse and how this can impact their recovery. You will also learn about what drugs teens are using today, what they have access, which substances have increased in use, and how substance abuse is correlated with the current teen mental health crisis. We also discuss the long-term impact of drugs on a teenager's brain and how adolescent substance abuse differs from adult substance abuse. You will also find out what to do if you suspect your teenager is abusing drugs or alcohol.  

Richard Capriola has been a mental health and substance use counselor for over two decades. He has treated both teens and adults diagnosed with substance use disorders and he is also the author of “The Addicted Child”, a handy parental guide for adolescent substance abuse. In this episode, Richard shares advice on how you can help your teens develop healthier social media habits and how to prevent them from being addicted to their cellphones.    Key Takeaways About Richard and his work with teens.  What seems to be the most popular apps teens are using today?  Parents might not understand all the available social media apps, but they should take the time to investigate what their teens spend a vast majority of their time on.  Like anything else, there will always be downsides and parents need to be aware of what these are.  You should talk to your children about their social media use and what they're posting online publicly.  How do you help your teen develop healthier social media patterns?  If you have a teen that's vulnerable to social anxiety, you have to be proactive with getting them to spend ‘real-life' time with their friends.  Check in with your teen and ask them how social media makes them feel. Social media is often filled with unrealistic images.  Does it make sense for parents to create a false or fake account to follow their teenager on?  No one likes to have their privacy invaded.  Honesty is always the best policy. Richard shares some research around Facebook usage. Teenagers know they have a problem, but can't seem to self-regulate their usage.  You want to clearly communicate to your teen about what it looks like to be responsible with social media.  Our teens are constantly watching us. Do you have a social media problem too?  Interested in learning more? Feel free to reach out to Richard!    Sponsored by Lessons in Leadership online program: https://www.EdGerety/Education.com Resources   Helptheaddictedchild.com The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse by Richard Capriola Richard's first podcast episode with Ed   Quotes:   “We need to be curious about the applications our teens are getting into. Really, anything that they're doing online, because it's such a different environment than it was 5-10 years ago.”    “You have to find time to at least be curious about what your children are doing.”    “Don't turn the entire situation of accountability and checking into just spying on your kid. If you start spying on your kid, you're going to get a negative reaction. No one likes to have their privacy invaded.”

DR. MEG WITH GUEST RICHARD CAPRIOLA (Part 1)Many times, mental health and substance abuse go hand in hand. Guest Richard Capriola explains how parents are often surprised when they find out the extent of either (or both) diagnosis in their teen. They missed the warning signs because nobody told them what to look for. Richard wrote his book, “The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse” in an effort to help parents know what warning signs to look for, which assessments may be needed, what the options are for treatment, and to hopefully make parents feel more confident and less afraid of the topic of adolescent substance abuse, should they need to confront it. In this episode, Richard discusses whether some personalities are more prone to addictive behavior in children as they get older, or if every child is at risk. He sheds light on the different warning signs parents need to be looking for, as well as how to effectively deal with their teen's behavior during substance abuse treatment, without the fear of driving them away. BREAK DR. MEG WITH GUEST MAX LUCADO (Part 2)Richard Capriola and Dr. Meg continue their conversation about adolescent substance abuse, discussing which substances are most commonly being used among teens today, including a very alarming rise in vaping. Also discussed is how the COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescents – while the pandemic drove down adolescent substance abuse, it caused a dramatic increase in mental health issues among teenagers, including depression, anxiety and fear. Richard also talks about the effect of marijuana on teenagers, now that this substance has been legalized in many states. FROM THE PRODUCERThanks for listening to Episode #167, Adolescent Substance Abuse, and for helping Dr. Meg's parenting revolution reach more than SEVEN MILLION downloads!

What do teachers need to know about adolescent substance abuse today? In this episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we've invited Richard Capriola, a mental health and addictions counselor and the author of The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse, to share his expertise on adolescent mental health and substance abuse. In […] The post 151. What Teachers Need to Know About Adolescent Substance Abuse with Richard Capriola appeared first on Educalme.

Richard Capriola has been a mental health and substance use counselor for over two decades. He has treated both teen and adults diagnosed with substance use disorders including over a decade as a counselor at Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas. Richard is the author of “The Addicted Child”, a handy parental guide for adolescent substance abuse.  In this episode Richard will discuss adolescent substance abuse, how the pandemic changed teen substance abuse and warning signs every parent, teacher and coach should know about.  Key Takeaways How has the pandemic affected teen substance abuse?  Why did drug use go down during the pandemic? Children became isolated at home.  What drugs are teens using right now?  Richard sees vaping on the raise among teens.  Vape devices can easily be hidden, so parents and teachers might not be aware of its use.  Why are teens using substances in the first place? The biggest reason cited was to help with their anxiety.  We often spot the substance issue first, but we do not recognize the underlying emotional issue that the child is trying to cure or resolve.  How should parents respond when their teens don't think it's a big deal?  Why do people do drugs?  Teens run the potential of having more risk in their brains than a fully developed brain.  What are some of the warning signs that a teen is doing drugs? What's a healthy boundary when it comes to trusting your teen vs. verifying what they're saying?  If you find something alarming in their room, try not to attack them. Instead, ask proactive questions.  The parent also needs support. You cannot do this alone if your teen is starting to have substance abuse issues.  There is hope! Treatment plans do work!  Drug tests are not foolproof.  Richard talks about his book, “The Addicted Child”.  Sponsored by Youth Leadership Lessons: https://varsityleadership.com/ Resources Helptheaddictedchild.com The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse by Richard Capriola Quotes: “It doesn't do me any good to treat a teen for marijuana use if I can't help that teen with their anxiety. They're going to continue to medicate.”  “Teens are interested in the brain and how it works, so I would teach them about the brain, and then I would introduce how drugs work in the brain.”  “Build a support system for yourself too. You're going to need help and support too, not just your teen. This is going to be a journey.”

"Two issues drive teen substance use: drug availability and perception of risk. Availability: Today's teens know that obtaining substances is far too easy. For example, 70 percent of high school seniors say marijuana is either “fairly easy” or “very easy” to obtain. Seventy-seven percent say getting their hands on alcohol is very easy and twenty-one percent of seniors believe it is easy to find MDMA (ecstasy). Thirty percent say getting their hands on amphetamines is also very easy. Perhaps more alarming, 27 percent of eighth-graders said getting ahold of a drug like marijuana is either fairly easy or very easy to do. And nearly 50 percent said alcohol is easy to find."

Parenting a child through substance abuse is one of the most difficult experiences imaginable; something none of us could have fathomed when our kids were young. Yet the statistics on teens and substance abuse is startling. The percentage of teens vaping (nicotine or marijuana) has increased in recent years, and many parents are either totally unaware or don't realize the extent of the problem.  Today's guest, Richard Capriola, spent years working as an addiction counselor at the Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas, and has now written the helpful guide, The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse. This book educates parents on everything from the types of drugs kids are abusing and what drug use does to the adolescent brain, to the kinds of treatment available for addiction. There is also a great resource list in the book for parents to find the help and support they need. In this interview we chat about the content of the book, and Richard shares hopeful stories from families who have overcome addiction to find a brighter future. We are all impacted by substance abuse to some extent, and I think you'll find this an informative and encouraging conversation!  Please share with friends as none of us know who might need this information. www.monicaswanson.com/episode-145 Podcast page (for all episodes) www.monicaswanson.com/podcast

One of the many concerns weighing down on parents is how to keep their teens safe from abusing alcohol and drugs. It's not the bad teens who are abusing alcohol and drugs. It's not the bad parents who raise teens who have alcohol and drug problems. All teens are vulnerable to alcohol and drug addiction. The ways teens are hardwired especially make them vulnerable to all sorts of addictions.

Join us on Hungry for Answers with our special guest, Richard Capriola, author of The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse. Unfortunately, most parents have no idea that their adolescent child has a problem. Richard's mission is to save children's lives by educating parents on recognizing all the signs that indicate that their child has a substance abuse problem. Richard's 20 plus years of experience as an addiction counselor has taught him that when parents are better prepared, they find the courage to do whatever it takes to support a positive shift for their child.

One of the greatest fears shared by moms and dads around the world is their child becoming addicted to drugs. While the motivations for using and abusing alcohol and drugs have largely stayed the same, the actual substances continue to evolve, and their availability keeps increasing. Richard Capriola is the author of The Addicted Child: A Parents Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse. He joins me to talk about the brain changes that happen with drug use, the most prevalent substances used by teens today, what to do if you find your teen using, and where to go for help if your child is addicted.   Richard Capriola has been a mental health and substance abuse counselor for over two decades. He recently retired from Menninger Clinic in Houston Texas where for over a decade he treated adolescents and adults diagnosed with mental health and substance abuse diagnoses.

Richard Capriola, substance abuse counselor and author of the book The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse, says that during his time working with adolescents, he noticed that a lot of parents were surprised at the extent of their child's use of substances. Unfortunately, they misinterpret the signals they're seeing and they tend to write it off as just being some type of developmental issue. They get trapped into thinking this is just some crazy teenage behavior that's going on and it'll pass. And then later, they find out it wasn't quite the case. Don't just assume it's normal adolescent development. Pay attention to any changes you see in the child's appearance, behavior, and attitude. Those can all be warning signs that maybe something's going on underneath the surface which you need to investigate a little bit deeper. Seek the Underlying Issue There's a much better chance of moving adolescents away from alcohol or drug use if parents can identify and address the underlying issue that's driving the child to use alcohol or drugs. Once you're able to move the discussion away from focusing on alcohol and drug abuse, you're opening the door for them to talk about what's really troubling them and the real reason they're using alcohol and drugs. And so, you move the conversation to get at the core issue. It's a Team Effort As much as addiction affects the child, it also affects the entire family system so the family needs treatment as well. And this is where social work comes into play. Dealing with adolescent substance abuse in your family all becomes a team effort because there are a lot of issues involved that go beyond just substance use.

The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse Show Guest: Richard Capriola Co-host: Paul Otis; Lake Tahoe Prep School According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 20% of teens admit to taking prescription drugs without a prescription. Last year, 47% of American high schoolers admitted to using illicit drugs, with 58% say they have drunk alcohol, according to American Addictions Centers. This risk continues to grow in young adults, in addition to drug and alcohol addiction. Richard Capriola, author of The Addicted Child: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse, has worked as a mental health counselor for 21 years including time at the nationally-ranked Menninger Clinic in Houston, where he specialized in teen mental health. He feels that addiction leaves parents filled with guilt and feeling lost. His mission with The Addicted Child is to empower parents with a road map of what to do when they find their child is addicted to alcohol or drugs. As an additional resource to the book, he has also created an accompanying parent workbook.

From his BIO: "Growing up the thing that really changed and defined much of my childhood was losing my best friend when I was 10 years old to Cystic Fibrosis. From that point forward a creative spark lit inside me that I really wouldn't get in touch with until college when my friend convinced me at the last second to change my major over to film. After that I stuck with film and video sometimes to a stubborn extent in my career. I started my own business at age 19 and I've been at it ever since.  My writing side never truly went away and was reignited after many years of battling depression especially in the tedium of wedding videography. To start off 2021 I collected 5 years worth of poetry in a collection which I just self published mid-January." https://totonyproductions.com Enjoy!

In this edition of The Way Out we've got a must listen interview with Richard Capriola who shares with us invaluable tools that can serve as a guide we can use should we have an adolescent child or loved one that may be engaging in Substance Abuse. Many of us know all too well, how devastating addiction and alcoholism can be to a family, especially if the addicted individual is a child or adolescent. For over two decades, Richard has been providing mental health and addiction counseling services to both adults and adolescents, giving him a wealth of experience and knowledge in the areas of addiction and mental health diagnosis and treatment. One critical fact we explore in our discussion is the key differences in how addiction manifests itself in the life of an adolescent as compared to an adult. These key differences impact how we identify a substance abuse problem in an adolescent versus an adult and can make all the difference in making a real and meaningful difference in a child's life. Richard has distilled all of this incredibly valuable wisdom and practical guidance in his new book The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse. We discuss how we recognize substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, as well as process and mental health disorders in an adolescent child, how we can get them the help they need, and what that help looks like in adolescent children so listen up.
