Citing the high risk of youth drug addiction and its widespread adverse impact, we at Project Healthy Minds seek to assist young adults through their challenging times. We provide information about the biological, psychological, and social causes that can often lead to addiction. We also describe the signs and symptoms that may help victims and/or their friends and family identify drug abuse. Furthermore, we elaborate on the various treatment modalities and resources available for getting the requisite help. We seek to build a community of like-minded youth undergoing similar problems and give them a platform to seek assistance from both peers as well as experts. In addition, we provide articles and videos that are easy to understand, interesting, and comprehensive. Our aim is to help the youth reach the recovery stage. Case studies of youth who have recovered can also help motivate and give perspective to young adults seeking help (for more examples, see the "Case Studies" page).
You must understand alcohol or drug addiction and its causes before you can overcome
them. The factors that lead to substance abuse and addiction are different for each
person. We explain how drugs affect your body, the reasons people turn to them, and how
to recover from alcoholism and other substance abuse disorders.
