It is not poor social conditions that lead to addiction, but the breakdown of the family unit [Interview].

The professionals at the Pierre-Nicole Youth Counseling Center (CJC) in Paris provide care for adolescents and young adults (ages 11–20) struggling with addiction to cannabis, alcohol, or video games. They support young people in building self-esteem, managing their emotions, and developing their capacity for empathy. Treatment can be provided on an individual or family basis. Family therapy is prioritized whenever possible, as the family plays an essential role.
