About this listen
In this episode, sit down with Dr. Raymond Pomm , Dr. Alicia Lubana and Rico Bodin, LMHC to explore the critical questions around before, during and after treatment for parents and guardians when discussing adolescents substance abuse and moving towards treatment.
Together, we break down the personal, family, and systemic barriers that keep teens from accessing substance use and behavioral health services. From stigma and fear of punishment to family conflict, financial challenges, and gaps in the system, Dr. Pomm and Dr. Lubana share their expert perspectives on how these obstacles show up in real life — and, more importantly, how families, schools, and communities can help teens overcome them.
Listeners gain practical strategies to build trust, improve communication, and advocate for adolescent treatment options. Whether you’re a parent, counselor, teacher, or just someone who cares about youth behavioral health, this conversation will leave you feeling more informed and empowered to support the next generation in recovery.
