The problem with younger brains is that they get stuck on drug-related stimuli easier. Of all the age groups considered, teens who experiment with drugs are more likely to become addicted than any other age group. With their brains still developing, teens who experiment with drugs are becoming “hardwired” addicts, which is difficult to undo. This probably means that treatment length will probably take longer.
