N2  - This article outlines the current clinical approach to poisonings in the adolescent age group. Management issues are presented for several specific substances frequently abused by this population. The purpose of such a review is to stimulate self-education in the practitioner. A secondary goal is to promote awareness of the various manifestations of substance abuse problems to facilitate recognition and referral. Adolescence is often a critical point for effective intervention and prevention on the road from use to addiction. Long-term survival may depend more on substance use rehabilitation than on the initial medical management.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
