Last Updated on Tuesday, 06 July 2010 16:55
Facing up to an addiction can be hard to do, and quitting is often just as challenging.
If you think that you or someone you know needs help read on to find out what some of your options may be.
Youth health centres are a good place to go for help. If you don't have one in your area, talk to an adult you trust, such as your parents, your doctor, Kaumatua or Kuia, a school counsellor or a youth worker. You can also get help from an Alcohol and Drug Service (they're listed in the phone book) or ring the Alcohol Drug Helpline on 0800 787 797- a confidential information, advice and referral service for people with questions about their own or someone else's drinking or drug use.
