I think my son/daughter is abusing drugs or alcohol. Where do I start?

The first step is to have an assessment done. A 60 to 90-minute assessment by a licensed professional can often give parents a clear picture of what their child is struggling with and determine if treatment is needed. The Seay Center in Plano provides free assessments Monday – Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Perimeter Health in Arlington provides assessments via phone.
