Do you suspect your teen is using alcohol or other drugs? 

Possible signs of substance use can be both physical and behavioral and may include withdrawal from

normal activities, irritability, unusual requests for money, unexplained changes in friends, excessive sleeping, strong defiance toward

rules and regulations, and significant high and lows in his or her energy level. 

TEEN INTERVENE CAN HELP!

Teen Intervene is an evidenced-based program for teenagers ages twelve to nineteen years old who are:

• Exhibiting mild or moderate problems associated with alcohol or other drug use
