Finding support in Los Alamos for substance-use issues

A comprehensive resource guide for teens and families

As part of our ongoing "The Cost of Silence" series investigating substance use among Los Alamos youth, Boomtown has compiled this resource guide. Our reporting has revealed that many families in our community are struggling with these issues, often in isolation due to stigma and fear. This guide provides support, information, and connections to help those facing substance use challenges.

Whether you're a parent concerned about your child, a teen looking for support, or a community member wanting to help, we hope you'll find valuable resources here. (To submit an additional resource, please email editors@boomtownlosalamos.org)
