Talk to your teen about huffing right away. Warn them of the dangers, pointing out that the first time they try this could easily be the last.
If you find someone you suspect of huffing:
(1) Remain calm, do not excite the abuser.
(2) If the person is unconscious or not breathing, administer CPR and call 911.
(3) Check for clues of what was used.
(4) If the person recovers, seek professional help. Most drug treatment centers treat inhalant abuse.
