Youth addictions are up, study finds

What I find shocking is not the increase, but how grossly undertreated addiction has been among young people in Detroit. 42?

The number of young Detroiters treated for substance-abuse addictions -- from alcohol to marijuana to crack cocaine and heroin -- increased sharply in the past three years, according to a public health study released Tuesday.

In 2003, 42 people ages 12 to 18 were treated. A year later, the number rose to 179. Last year it was 377.
