description: Written by Bob Meehan, the "Father of Drug Intervention," and first published in 1984 as an answer to the alarming drug problem in our country, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road, was an instant success. With over 100,000 copies in print since publication, BYBR is a testament to Bob Meehan's unrivaled insight into teenagers and adolescent chemical abuse. This powerful book guides readers through the psyche of these "fun machines" we call teenagers. Additionally, the text offers parents practical advice about teens and drugs in a time of drug proliferation in society and the media, even what to look for in local drug programs and how to start a drug program. The insight in BYBR stems from Bob Meehan's 30 years of helping thousands of teenagers and their families recover from the devastation of teenage chemical abuse and learn to live a life of "enthusiastic sobriety." This newly revised edition of the classic text in its field has been updated and re-released in 2000. The Revised edition contains new insight into Bob Meehan's journey since the initial release of the book, and updated perspectives and guidance for parenting and teenagers as the yellow brick road leads us into the 21st Century.
