Addiction in unaccompanied minors: how to go from drugs to story

The CASITA House of Teenagers based in Seine-Saint-Denis receives young people with diverse origins, migrants or children of migrants. The managed care is pluralist. Receiving and caring for unaccompanied minors is one example. Through the two clinical presentations here we will see here how the consultation of young consumers can be a gateway to an early psychological elaboration of an often very traumatic history. We show how the addictions clinic for unaccompanied minors is unique, combining transcultural and psychoanalytical approaches.
