In the data collection, the interview and the test were applied to assess the quality of life in addicts to psychoactive substances. The results show that adolescent drug users have attitudes that affected their physical abilities in their daily routine, and they had memory problems. However, the study group is receptive to receiving psychological therapy, a social value of this research. These adolescents have doubts regarding the effectiveness of the detoxification and behavioral-cognitive therapies that they were taking at the Health Center.
