I need some help for a friend.

An old friend of mine who lives in another state has a son who I believe is around age 14 and is struggling with alcohol and drugs.

I have seen a teenager in NA meetings before, but is that really recommended? Are there any teenage-based 12 step programs or meetings?

I imagine they would be hard to find. Any info would help. Thank You.

The major metro city I'm closest to has a United Way program for teenagers dealing with substance abuse. It's open every day, they have after school programs too, and it's highly structured with certified counselors and therapists.

Thanks Chino.

This person is in Washington, I will see if there is a United Way program there.
