text: can anyone recommend the most helpful program for a 16 year old with drug problems?   well prayer is certainly not the answer you need though it may help it is not a program. you need to talk with your school guidance counselor or your church pastor,priest, someone you trust. there are many approaches you can take at your age, alot will depend on what is going on with you and how bad your drug problem is. you are seeking help and that is a great first step, if it isn't for you then get your friend the help he/she needs before they get too far down that long dark alley.
