Is the JUVENILE EDUVENTION PROGRAM Considered Formal Substance/drug Abuse COUNSELING or TREATMENT?
Question by Mitch: Is the JUVENILE EDUVENTION PROGRAM considered formal substance/drug abuse COUNSELING or TREATMENT?
here’s the situation. my friend is confused about if the EDUVENTION Program for juveniles is considered drug counseling and/or treatment. When he was 13 years old, he got in trouble with the police for vandalism. his parents suspected he was using drugs and the court gave hima drug test. he popped positive for marujuana. he was NEVER charged with any type of drug chage, he was just orderd to attend an educational class about weed with his parents, it was kind of like DARE. The class was called EDUVENTION-substance abuse educational program. It was only 4 days long, once a week for 4 weeks, he was required to attend this with his parents. So my main question…
1.) Is this EDUVENTION program considered drug COUNSELING and/or TREATMENT?
2.) will this come up on a criminal background check, even though he was NEVER given a drug charge. He was only charged with a misdemeanor vandalism and required to attend this EDUVENTION-educational program with his parents. HE completed everything and is just confused about the whole thing. He doesnt believe it was counseling or treatment because it was just an Educational Program for first time pot smokers, similar to the DARE program.
Please, SERIOUS answers only.
Thanks

You, I mean your “friend”, doesn’t have to worry. Juvenile records are sealed. Nobody is going to find out what happened when you, whoops, “he” was 13.
