Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children and adolescents may abuse substances such as alcohol, amphetamines (uppers), cannabis (marijuana), hallucinogens (e.g., ecstasy and other club drugs, such as GHB and LSD), opioids (e.g., heroin, cocaine), phencyclidines (e.g., PCP, angel dust), sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics (e.g., Valium, Librium), steroids, and inhalants (e.g., nitrous oxide, acetone).Young people with substance dependence and abuse disorders can spend much of their time acquiring, using, and recovering from the substance.As their dependence on and need for a drug grow, adolescents may become involved in illegal activities that place them at further risk of harm (e.g., prostitution or selling drugs).Using and acquiring drugs has significant health risks, and children and adolescents entering treatment programs for substance dependence or abuse often have poor physical health and sometimes contract life-threatening conditions such as human immunodeficiency virus infection or hepatitis from sharing needles.A strong association exists between alcohol use and suicide.
