Youth refers to children and adolescents under the age of 18 who are/were involved in the juvenile justice system. Substance use disorder is a treatable, chronic medical illness characterized by a problematic pattern of using alcohol or drugs— including illegal substances and prescription medications. This leads to significant impairment, such as health issues, disability, or failing to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home. Mental health needs are supports required for emotional, psychological, and social well-being, encompassing needs for coping with stress, managing conditions like anxiety or depression, building skills, fostering healthy relationships, accessing treatments, and addressing social factors that impact mental health such as poverty or discrimination. It's not only the absence of illness but also the ability to thrive, cope with life's challenges, and contribute to the community. These needs are diverse, ranging from basic needs for stability to specialized care.
