[Current forms of toxicomania in adolescents].
The authors analyse current aspects of toxicomania in young persons. Addiction to licit or illicit drugs usually originates in the conjunction of the use of a substance and a personality crisis, in a propitious socio-cultural context. Except in cases of overdoses which are the ultimate emergency, the follow-up care of adolescent drug addicts does not require specialist therapy. It is the business of adult counsellors to listen to these adolescents and take full responsibility for them.
