You cannot use the same program for adolescents that you use for adults. Teenagers have not developed the skills that adults have. They are not socially and emotionally mature. Adults have a stable identity. Adolescents are just developing an identity.
Adolescence is the age where tremendous physiological changes occur in the body.
The patient's emotional and physical structure is in transition from childhood to adulthood. Teen drug treatment sets the addicted person free from the slavery to addiction. Adolescence should be understood as a transitional stage that allows the adolescent to gradually adjust to growth, development, and change. Each cycle of life brings new challenges and opportunities, but all of the changes will be incorporated into the basic personality structure. Normal adolescents do not feel inferior to others.
