Abstract

As drug abuse among adolescents is becoming a serious social concern, this article is aiming at reviewing the negative impacts that drugs can bring to adolescents’ brain development, finding out what are the causes for adolescents getting attachments to the drugs, and what are the methods for avoidance and treatments. In the existing evidence, the drug’s impact on brain development is clear, but the details for the damages did not come to an agreement. The main influence of consuming drugs on brain development is on cognitive and memory levels, and the accesses are mostly found in peer groups, households, and school places. In this review study, the evidence showed the positive results of drug addiction recovery in Behavioral Therapies and Family Therapies. This review study will be a quick guide for knowing the adolescent drug use phenomenon and its available treatment methods.
