When it comes to teenagers and young adults , it can be very difficult for parents to believe that their child may be abusing drugs. It is a thought that no parent wants to accept. Unfortunately, teenagers are naturally curious and the use of drugs is on the rise. Casual use of prescription and over-the-counter medications is on the rise. Non-prescribed use of Adderall, Ritalin and other ADHD drugs are routinely bought or traded between friends without regard. Additionally they have access to Opioids and other painkillers which is proven to lead to use of Heroin when supply becomes short or too costly.

"I highly recommend Doerner Investigations if you are in need of PI services. As an adoptee, I was able to find missing links that have eluded me for years! They were extremely professional and highly committed to my case. I am forever grateful and would not hesitate to use them if needed again."

Amy Doerner sat down with Sylvie Belmond for an interview on the use of K9 detection dogs to help combat teen drug use. Doerner, a Los Angeles and Agoura Hills private investigator, is using K9 drug dogs to help parents in the war on teen drug use.

If you’ve ever suspected one of your children of using drugs, you may have tried going through their pockets and their backpacks for pills, weed or other drugs like heroine. The sad truth is that any teen who wants to hide drugs has the ability to hide them so well that even a thorough search by a concerned parent won’t find them. How do they figure out where to put them? If they have the ability to access the internet for research or to buy a book, they have access to detailed instructions on how to hide drugs (or anything else) in places parents are unlikely to ever check.

One of our services is for parents concerned about drug use at home by teenagers, etc. Proactive parents call Doerner Investigations to help investigate teenage drug use. In-home drug detection for teenage drug use can give parents peace of mind or immediate notice of a potential life-threatening problem.
