A is ridiculous.
B is white lie, almost. Many parents want somebody else to step into the drug problem when it is a crisis (going to jail, or suicide), but NOT when the kid is growing up with problems...many parents see that as an invasion of the sanctity of their home life.
C. I have never found anything that psychologist agree to except to seek counseling.
D. True. Drug treatments are often short term.
