Hi. I would like to know what usually happens to youths after they abuse drugs. Is there a way back for them? How are they going to be given another chance in school and work, and how do they usually cope with rehab and the stigma of being a drug abuser?

Thanks in advance.

I'm referring to substance drugs.

Yeah i guess alot would depend on the support given by family and friends. Just wondering how much of a factor the external environment can influence the re-entering stage of the youths be it positively or othwerwise.

substance drugs? or addictive behaviours in general?

I wouldn't know.

I think a lot of it depends on the type of rehab they go through. I think it would also depend on how much support they have from friends and family, both during rehab and once they are back in regular society.
