Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Documentary Premieres Online Tonight
By Susan Richardson, August 23 2012
I visited the beautiful state of New Mexico last week and learned how their leadership is working to improve the future for young people. While I was in Albuquerque, I heard about a new documentary about the need for adolescent substance abuse treatment, called "No Exceptions".
According to the film's producers, the film's intention is to "help parents, educators and middle and high schoolers understand the dangers of opioid (pain killer) abuse, how it can lead to heroin use, and how to prevent use before it starts." The program includes a 30-minute documentary, viewer guide and support for targeted audiences.
I'm looking forward to seeing the live-stream on KOB.com tonight at 6 pm (PDT) on KOB.com.
