title: [The specific problem of addiction in teenagers].
abstract: In his/her normal development, the teenager is naturally at risk for addiction. He/she finds therein what he/she believes to be a solution to his/her internal tensions, but risks finding himself/herself trapped by the poison of dependence. He/she rarely recognizes his/her difficulties and tends to consider his/her consumption trivial: this may render care particularly troublesome. The best treatment doubtless consists of prevention and pedagogy.
