Addiction in Adolescence Adolescence is a distinct developmental period in which a person transits from a child to an adult. Those who have suffered trauma in this time may be less able to manage this transitional phase effectively. Trauma in adolescents is closely connected with increased sensitivity to abuse of illicit substances and the damage of neurological growth (Canella et al., 2020). This includes alterations to the opioid system's development, which is crucial for social behavior regulation and emotions.
