Reaching Adolescents’
Parents Promptly is a free com
munity service recently
organizer) by two staff members
of the Horizon Recovery Center,
a local substance-abuse treat
ment center.
The program is designed to
teach parents about the warning
signs of adolescent drug and
alcohol abuse and help them
spot the problem in their
children.
“We emphasize there is no
single indicator that points to a
drug problem," said Mikal
kruinmel. one of the organizers
of RAPP. "The assessment is a
gray process. We tell parents
what some of the symptoms are
and advise them on when to
seek professional help.”
kruinmel and Lydia Lord,
also a Horizon staff member,
came up with the concept for
RAPP about three months ago.
“We thought it would be a
good idea to expand the concept
of intervention to have direct
contact with people who care
the most," Krummel said.
The idea became a reality
about a month ago. when the
parents of a rehabilitated child
said they wanted to share their
recovery experience with
friends. The parents agreed to
be a host family, and the experi
ment was a success.
RAPP sessions are held in
private homes at the request of
the host family, who am en
couraged to invite interested
friends.
At least two Horizon staff
members attend each two-hour
session. They describe symp
toms of drug abuse and discuss
various treatment options.
A shoebox full of common
household items that double as
drug paraphernalia helps drive
the message home to parents: an
ordinary pen that can be quickly
converted into a pipe: an empty
7-Up can with about two dozen
small holes poked in its side;
and a large oval earring that
opens to reveal a small compart
ment in its center.
RAPP was originally intend
ed for adults, but by the second
session some of the parents
brought their children. Lord
said the parents and children
broke into separate groups and
discussed their feelings of drug
awareness with a staff member.
“When the parents and
chiidron were reunited, both
found they had been talking
about the same concerns," bird
said.
One of the most eye-opening
experiences in the program was
when about a dozen children,
ranging in age from six to 16.
showed up to one of the
meetings.
"All of them came out and
said they had had contact with
drugs, and all were concerned
about it. Their parents were
shocked." krummel said.
Open communication is one
of the keys to the program's suc
cess. Lord said. "People are
more comfortable in their
homes. There is more trust in
volved. which makes it much
easier for communication." she
said.
Another reason RAPP is suc
cessful is because it targets a
