Parents' Drug Primer

Young people are using drugs - not just in major metropolitan areas, but across South Dakota.  PVPS Prevention Counselors work on a daily basis with students to educate them on the dangers of alcohol and other drugs.  It's also vital that parents educate themselves on the current popular substances and the signs and symptoms of their use.

Not all young people experiment or abuse alcohol and other drugs, but many do. In our area, the top four substances used most often are tobacco, alcohol, marijuana and Meth.

Other drugs are available and used by young people in our area.  Some are legal with a prescription; some are available as over the counter medications; still others are only legal as research drugs in a completely closed facility and have no medicinal value.
