Abstract
drug addiction and its treatment are complex issues for medical, psychological, and even legal and moral reasons. Addicts are vilified as objects of ridicule, but children are using intoxicating substances for the first time every day and substance abuse has occurred in almost every society in the history of human existence. The only realistic and rational response is to accept that each and every individual, especially adolescents, needs effective treatment that reflects their physical, social, and mental health needs. Different types of rehabilitation are required based on the types of drugs a user might be abusing, and the related problems that often emerge alongside addiction (e.g., HIV positive status or poor health, poverty, a criminal record, lack of self-care skills) can often require further or additional treatment ranging from the activities of daily living to job readiness to anger management.
