Help for Parents & Grandparents

Questions Parents and Grandparents Ask

Since “You’re Not Alone” conferences started in 1999, we have compiled some Frequently Asked Questions by parents in ministry whose kids are using or abusing illicit drugs, alcohol, or any mood-altering chemicals. We make no differentiation, because addiction can be deadly in many ways and addicts will use whatever gets them high. In many cases, there is not one universally accepted answer. In some cases, we will give dissenting views with the knowledge that each parent ultimately must make his or her own decision.
