Question
We live in Palo Alto and my 17-year-old daughter struggles with drug abuse. Are there any classes in the Palo Alto area where she might attend?
Thank you,

There are many options for your daughter and your whole family. Please know there is a lot of support and many people can help. Your family doctor is a good place to start, Al-Anon (http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/), Adolescent Counseling Services (http://www.acs-teens.org/) and PAMF. We have a group that you can all come to every Tuesday at 5:30 PM
(http://www.pamf.org/news/services/0907substance.html).
She is lucky to have such a concerned parent! Best!
