Communication at Family Dinners Decrease Chances of Teens Using Drugs

A September 2009 report by CASA (The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse) states that teenagers who have fewer than three family dinners compared to those who have five to seven family dinners per week are twice as likely to try drugs in the future.

“This report reinforces what many of our clients who are in recovery right now  say about their teen years,” according to Rebecca Pool, C.A.D.C.  (Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor) of Narconon Arrowhead, one of the countries leading residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities,   “Teens who find it easy to talk with their parents about personal things are less likely to use substances. As they were growing up they rarely sat down for dinner with their family and when they did that was the rare occasion when they actually saw their parents. If they had questions or needed advice they would turn to a friend instead of their parents. This caused many to never gain the life skills needed to live a successful drug-free life.”

“The CASA study supports what used to be considered parental common sense.  The more time kids spend with their parents the closer and more meaningful the relationship is,” said Narconon’s Pool.
