Internet Drug And Alcohol Treatment
CRC Health
Corp. and its online affiliate, eGetgoing, are launching the nation's first
Internet-based, interactive audio and video drug and alcohol treatment
and counseling program for teens.
Tests show teens
love this approach -- they say "teenGetgoing," which has private interactive
video and Internet technology, is "cool," according to the CRC Health Corp.
The Household
Survey, recently released by the federal government, finds nearly one-fourth
of eighth graders say they have been drunk and 11 percent of kids ages
12 to 17 used illegal drugs last year, CRC says in a statement.
