Youth implies the life phase of transition from childhood to adulthood, whereby the age between fifteen and thirty is taken into account, while a minor is considered a person who has not reached the age of eighteen, in other words, a person who has not reached the legal age for full legal responsibility and to acquire full civil rights and civil duties. By experimenting in search of their own identity, minors often make reckless decisions that can lead to the development of addiction. Addiction is a complex disease characterized by compulsive and sometimes uncontrollable craving, seeking and use of an addictive substance that persists despite extremely negative consequences.In treatment, that is, addiction therapy, the most important thing is for the minor to become aware of his own addiction problem so that the therapy itself will be as successful as possible. Of course, a key role in healing is also played by parents and the environment, who should serve as support in the entire process. In addition, the effectiveness of the therapy also depends on the time period involved in the treatment, which implies an earlier start of the therapy in order to return the minor's life to normal, regardless of the type of addiction to which he was subjected.
