This is a profile of an 18-year-old high school student recovering from addiction to drugs and alcohol. He discusses the factors that led to his addiction, and how his addictions led him to contemplate suicide. His parents talk about the effect of their son’s problems on their family life, and what finally compelled them to force their son into a treatment program. A specialist in adolescent medicine offers insight into how parents and siblings may inadvertently act as "enablers" to help the addict ignore the problem. (19 minutes)
