Teenage Drug and Alcohol Addiction Videos: Conclusion
It is fortunate for us that we live in an age in which information is available from so many sources. Teenage drug and alcohol
addiction videos is a good example. As outlined above, since the videos by SR Publications and by Hazelden are fairly expensive; a
good alternative source is to go to your local library to see what addiction videos they have. In some instances, you can get these videos
from other libraries that are part of the local library network.
If this does not work out for you, go to the nearest large metropolitan area and see if the main library has the videos you want.
Another thought: some of the local colleges and universities may have adult education classes on alcohol and drug abuse and on chemical
dependency. If so, see if they offer videos to enhance their courses. Perhaps you and your significant other can enroll in one
of these classes and learn more about the topic.

| A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, abuse, or misbehavior, by individual family members takes
place on a continuing basis, leading other members of the family to perpetuate, enable, and reinforce such behaviors. Often,
children grow up in dysfunctional families with the belief that such behaviors and ways of relating are "normal." |
