1. Lack of Surrender
Most adolescent drug addicts are not at a point
of surrender.  In fact they are usually nowhere
near the point of surrender, and they are
probably able to abuse drugs and alcohol for at
least another few years or even decades before
they are miserable enough to really hit bottom. 
This is a huge problem in terms of trying to get
them clean and sober.  The motivation is just not
there.

2. Lack of Maturity
This is a huge problem in drug rehab for
adolescents.  It can be overcome though, as long
as the kids are serious about getting clean and
sober.  But it can be a huge distraction when
they are not serious enough and they think
everything is a joke.  It can be hard to find a
group of adolescents where this is not a problem
with anyone.

3. Lack of Experience
Kids in rehab simply lack a huge deal of
experience that could otherwise be used to
educate the group as a whole.  When adults come
together in rehab, they can share their
experience with each other and thus become each
others teachers.  This is much harder with
younger people because they lack experience.  For
example, in an adult drug rehab, you will
generally have at least one or two people who
have experienced multiple years clean and sober
before relapsing.  This is not generally the case
with younger people.

4. Hesitation
Kids are resistant to forming a new group of
friends in recovery, because they place such a
high importance on their peers and their
friends.  Just asking them to change all your
friends to new ones in recovery is not realistic.
