Adolescence is a time when experimentation with drugs is often part of the social norm. Unfortunately, the changing sensitivities within the adolescent brain make it particularly susceptible to addiction. This module demonstrates practical action methods for supporting youth in understanding the process of addictions as well as for rehearsing sober behaviors.
