 AB    While the numbers of adolescents entering drug abuse treatment are not
       increasing dramatically, those entering treatment are getting sicker,
       according to clinical reports. Adolescents are entering treatment with
       multiple problems, including severe learning disorders, borderline
       personality disorders, multiple diagnoses of addiction, mental health
       and physical problems (including HIV/AIDS), and issues arising from
       child abuse and incest. A case study in client-therapist interaction is
       presented, highlighting the concept of the wounded healer. The disease
       model of addiction is discussed as it applies to adolescents, as is
       their need for habilitation, not rehabilitation. Current abuse trends
       and the drugs involved are also discussed. Multiple diagnoses,
       physiologic disorders, HIV testing and counseling, surgical problems,
       and maternal/neonatal complications are reviewed.
