Juvenile delinquency points to the existence of adverse social circumstances in which children grow up, and it requires a very complex intervention directed at a number of factors that cause such a phenomenon. Due to insufficient development and sensitivity in this stage of growing up, a young person’s development may be directed in an asocial or antisocial direction, going all the way to a criminal form of behavior. A juvenile experimenter is a person who has not been satisfied with life for a long time before they start taking addictive substances. The causes can be different: from loneliness, intro-version, unattainable goals, boredom, frustration due to disappointment, or rejection in society. In addition, people who enter the world of addiction usually do not have family in the true sense of the word. It is often not easy to recognize the difference between “normal, ” common changes in adolescence, such as mood swings and defying parents and teachers and signs of substance abuse. There are a number of signs of substance abuse in young people, the most important of which is change, that is, it is important to pay attention to any significant changes in physical appearance, personality, attitudes, or behavior.

Psychotherapy and rehabilitation are the purpose of the therapeutic community. Without adequate psychotherapy and sociotherapy, juvenile users would become frequent users of health services.
