Minor Drug Abuse

Perhaps the best part of Nickelodoen’s new special on teen addiction, Nick News With Linda Ellerbee: Kids in Rehab: There are none of the fetishistic shots of needles plunging into veins that TV shows about drug use, like Intervention, specialize in.  Nick’s half-hour show looks at several teenagers in treatment for substance abuse—with special focus on the intoxicants kids use the most, like alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, and cough syrup. (One boy even lists cigarettes among his chemical dependencies.) There’s no preamble or arch announcement about the number of kids in drug treatment. Instead, the show dives right into the story. The downside is that there are so many participants that each gets just a few minutes to share his or her tale of going from sipping a drink at a party to landing in rehab.

Where Ellerbee and her team do right is in choosing a variety of different rehab settings to show—an outpatient facility, a no-nonsense rehab, a cushy beach setting complete with yoga and acupuncture. More than just a warning about the dangers of drugs, the special will serve as a reminder about supporting teens who try to shake free of addiction, as they talk nervously about how they’ll function once they leave the safety of rehab.

Become a fan of Xxtra Small on Facebook and discuss kids’ books, movies, TV shows, and video games with other parents.

  • Fear Factor: (The kids’ stories are so brief that they don’t really get into the nitty gritty.)
  • Heart: (It’s also tough to get to know them given the brief length of the segments.)
  • Attitude: (The kids all at least appear to be humbled by their experiences; one of them starts to say “shit” and then catches himself.)
  • Psst: The show is a good reminder to lock up your medicine and liquor cabinets—several of the kids talk about finding intoxicants in the comfort of their parents’ homes.
  • If you like this: Gone Too Far, the late DJ AM’s intervention-style show for young addicts, premiered on MTV last week.
