Partnership to End Addiction

Millions of America’s teens and young adults are struggling with drugs or alcohol, yet unlike most other adolescent health issues or diseases, parents haven’t found a clear path to resources and support for teen addiction.

By bringing together renowned scientists, parent experts and communications professionals, Partnership to End Addiction not only translates current research on teen behavior, addiction and treatment into easy to understand, actionable resources at drugfree.org, but offers hope and help to the parents of teens and young adults who need help with drugs and alcohol. The Partnership’s mission is to reduce teen substance abuse and support families impacted by addiction.

At drugfree.org, parents can connect with each other, tap into expert advice and find support in their role as hero to their kids.
