Struggling with Alcohol and Drugs? Learn More About It!

Did you know that there are constant messages about drugs in songs and movies?

A study of popular music found that:

• 1 in 3 songs mention drugs, alcohol, or tobacco use.
• 3 in 4 raps songs mention drugs, alcohol or tobacco use.

In over a 9-year period the top 100 movies:

• 7 in 10 movies showed characters smoking.
• 1 in 3 movies showed characters getting drunk.

Take a break and contact Youth & Family Services' Substance Use team. We can help with individual and group services for youth ages 12 -21. Services are offered to youth that have used or are abusing alcohol or drugs, or exhibiting behavior, which puts them at extremely high risk for abusing alcohol or other drugs.

No cost services are provided Monday - Friday, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm by a phone or virtual/video appointment. Contact Youth and Family Services for more information 510-790-6940 or submit the YFS Substance Use Team contact form to leave your details and someone will call you.
