A 15-year-old is a heavy user of marijuana and alcohol. When the nurse confronts the client about his drug and alcohol use, he admits previous heavy use in order to feel more comfortable around peers and achieve social acceptance. He says he has been trying to stay clean since his parents found out and had him seek treatment. When the nurse develops a plan of care with the client, what should be the highest priority to help him maintain sobriety?

1. Peer recognition that does not involve substance use.

2. Support and guidance from his parents.

3. A strict no-drug policy at his high school.

4. The threat of legal charges if caught drinking or smoking marijuana.
