[Adolescence and psychoactive substances]

Abstract

By the age of 17, most young people have tried alcohol, tobacco and cannabis and some of them have already become regular users. While they have partly achieved their objective, clinics for young addicts, created ten years ago and aimed specifically at this section of the population, still struggle to reach out to certain teenagers, notably those with issues relating to alcohol consumption.

Keywords: addiction; adolescent; clinic for young addicts; consultation jeunes consommateurs; prevention; prévention.
