This paper reviews the problem of substance abuse during adolescence. By high school graduation, drugs and alcohol have become a part of the life-style of American youths. Although substance use may not cause problems for the majority, when there is abuse, it has a major impact on the adolescent's family as well as the adolescent himself. Nurses are in prime positions to identify the teenage substance abuser and provide treatment for him and his family.
