Heads Up: Real News About Drugs and Your Body is an educational collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and Scholastic Inc. which offers scientifically based information on drugs and the effects they have on your body. With interactive quizes, videos, blogs and free downloads, this site is a useful resource that is centered in the science of drugs use. It's highest quality is the numerous fact-sheets that are available for download, and reproduction.
However, I was a little surprised at the paucity of help this site provides for kids who might have a problem with drugs. With a single, hard to find link to a private company that locates treatment facilities, and no mention of twelve step programs, or any other outside resources, this site may not be suited to those looking for help from drug addiction.
