I want to save my son and other teenagers

It was the excruciating six-year rehabilitation process that propelled me to search for ways to save my own son as well as other teenagers who are addicted to new psychoactive substances.

In February 2004, I received a phone call asking me to go to the hospital because my 13-year-old son had collapsed at school and a positive result in a urine test suggested he was using drugs.

When he regained consciousness, my son assured me that he didn't do drugs, but he admitted to drinking a preparation he called "cough syrup" before he collapsed.
