[Isolated minors' addictions: feedback from the Robert Debre hospital]

FEEDBACK FROM THE ROBERT DEBRE HOSPITAL The emergency department of the Robert Debré pediatric hospital in Paris is receiving an increasing number of unaccompanied minors with somatic problems or who have overdosed on psychoactive substances. These young people are very vulnerable and in preca¬rious situations, with traumatic backgrounds, and are mostly boys from Maghreb. They are frequently used by criminal networks that keep them under the influence of addictive substances. They are generally dependent on tobacco and cannabis but can consume large quantities of drugs diverted from their use such as clonazepam and pregabaline, the risks of withdrawal of which compromise their access to care and can put them in danger. The liaison addiction team, in conjunction with the relevant partners in the city, has set up several tools to improve access to care for these vulnerable young people and enable them to be discharged within a legal framework: an identity recognition alert, a health alert and an initial emergen¬cy care protocol.
