[Ailist] Has AI been used effectively with teen-agers and drugs

[Anna spector]

Dear AI Community,
  Yesterday I attended a memorial service for my seventeen year old cousin who passed away due to an accidental drug overdose.  He was bright, handsome,cared about the planet, but unfortunately,had an addiction that claims so many teen-agers each year.  The grief therapist in charge did a poor job and focused mostly on the tragedy, etc.  Needless to say she took the laughter out of any conversation we were sharing about the times we appreciated him.  It was truly a downer.  So, I have been reflecting on AI a lot and I was curious if anyone had worked with teens involved with drugs and was AI a powerful enough influence to steer them away from drugs and into something more productive?   Thank you again for letting me share this.  
   
   
   
  Warmly,
