Recovery Comes Home Radio

Richard Capriola is a seasoned expert in adolescent substance abuse, boasting over two decades of experience in mental health and addiction counseling. Transitioning from a state-level school administrator to a mental health crisis center, he honed his skills in addressing both mental health and substance abuse challenges. Capriola's insights into adolescent substance abuse are deeply informed by his extensive background and education in the field.

His focus lies in educating and empowering parents and families with essential knowledge. Capriola stresses the critical importance of early detection of substance abuse indicators in adolescents and advocates for comprehensive assessments to uncover potential underlying mental health issues. Recognizing the challenges parents face in recognizing substance abuse due to their children's adeptness at hiding it, Capriola underscores the necessity for early professional intervention through tailored treatment plans.

Richard’s mission is to provide parents with the understanding and resources necessary to effectively navigate substance abuse issues, a mission that finds expression in his book "The Addicted Child: A Parent's Guide to Adolescent Substance Abuse."
