Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate aspects related to drug addiction in the adolescent population. It was possible to define the average profile of adolescents on drug treatment. A fieldwork was undertaken among adolescents ranging from 10 to 20 years of age, admitted to hospitals and clinics for drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Curitiba in 1999, in which 682 medical records were investigated. As a conclusion, it was possible to make some suggestions for further research and ways of preventing and contributing to clinical treatment.
