Celebrities are always in the news for their drug and alcohol abuse. In fact, many times these people seem to parade their addictions in front of the camera for the sake of publicity. Even when stars take the first step and check into a drug rehab, they many times seem to be doing it because they know they will get their names in the tabloids.

What kind of message is this sending to our youth? Drug and alcohol abuse is serious and most people do not have the monetary resources that celebrities have to check into an exclusive drug rehab. But for many, there are long term drug rehab program that are affordable. And the longer the treatment, the greater the success rate for sobriety after treatment.

The thing for parents to realize is that talking to their children, especially teenagers and young adults, about how the abuse many celebrities display is not something to copy is very important. Another benefit of talking to children, teens and young adults is that it shows them that they are still being watched and their safety is still important – even as they mature.
