[Adolescents and young adults in situations of addiction]
Abstract
Adolescence is a period of major readjustments during which experimenting with psychoactive substances is common and can, in some cases, lead to the development of long-term addictive behaviour. Identifying young people with a particular vulnerability for the development of such behaviour and offering them adapted support is therefore an important part of the care provided to adolescents.
