If you are concerned about your child regarding intoxicant-related problems, you will not be left alone. Look for help at the youth centre or an A-Clinic in your municipality, you can always turn to them with any questions regarding intoxicants. The services are free of charge and confidential. Help at A-Clinics and youth centres is provided by e.g. nurses, social therapists and doctors. These centres can help the whole family. Treatment is a voluntary basis.
