The neuromodulator dopamine (DA) is known to be affected by chronic THC treatme…
Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUND: Youth with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) referred to treatment from the Juvenile Justice System (JJS) account for approximately half of the treatment admissions nationwide. The objective of this paper is to report a comparison of retention and outcomes for JJS referrals to those from the general community. METHODS: A total of 172 adolescents, 13-18 years of age, 83% males, 70% JJS referrals, diagnosed…
