Jamison Monroe joined Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on the "Answers for the Family" talk show, which can be heard on LA Talk radio. The topic was about what parents can do when their teens indulge in substance abuse. The guest explained that substance abuse extended beyond just street drugs and alcohol, and included psychotropic drugs prescribed by physicians.
Jamison Monroe
Jamison founded Newport Academy to deliver caring help as well as therapy for teenagers fighting drug abuse problems.
Despite an excellent private school education and a supportive family, Jamison coped with the pressure of having to get good grades and perform well in sports by getting addicted to Adderall, a prescription drug that combines amphetamine and dextroamphetamine to stimulate the central nervous system. Jamison believes this drug is overprescribed for any symptoms that might indicate attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
His own road to recovery began after he was admitted to a therapy center that assisted him by supplying tailored, comprehensive and holistic treatment. The treatment plan, which allowed him to securely address his specific concerns with family therapy, would later come to be a model for developing Newport Academy.
Teen Addiction
Jamison explained how the misuse of prescription medications was the leading cause of teen fatalities. Young adults either overdosed on drugs that offered mood improving properties or they added MAO inhibitors to aid them to calm down from the results of too much nervous system stimulation. The result of this hazardous medication mix between stimulants and depressants might cause cardiovascular disease, hypertension, organ breakdown, stress and anxiety, agitation, or even result in a fatality.
Jamison strongly believes in educating families so that they can more effectively help their children with addiction issues - including understanding that just because a doctor prescribed a drug, it was not always a safe choice. He also discussed what parents can do to help their teens when they were making dangerous choices. He provided listeners with trustworthy information about the many issues associated with teen addiction.
In addition, Jamison offered a brief description of the gender-specific, comprehensive treatment programs for adolescents provided by Newport Academy. He described the program as a combination of the key factors necessary for effectively treating adolescent boys and girls suffering from mental health, behavioral health and substance abuse issues.
