Abstract

Adolescents’ substance abuse is a momentous problem nowadays. Adolescents are under a significant period of cognitive development. The current studies focus on the negative effects of substance use among adolescents. This article mainly focuses on the etiology, impacts, and therapy among adolescents’ drug abuse. Family environment and peer pressure generate initiation of drug use. Drug use affects some cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and executive function, etc. There are also contradictory results on the neuropsychological decline among adolescents with marijuana use. The current studies show family therapy efficaciously reduces drug use among adolescents. Educational prevention is also a practical method to minimize drug user.
