The involvement of youth in drug addiction has raised concerns about the future of the country since human capital is threatened by social problems caused by drug abuse. Adolescent addicts who undergo rehabilitation treatment need continuous support outside the institution to prevent relapse which causes the treatment period to be gainless. This paper aims to (i). identify the types of drugs used by teenagers who are involved in addiction and (ii). discuss the CRAFT approach as a drug rehabilitation strategy for teenagers. This paper uses a survey method where drug information is obtained through a questionnaire. The CRAFT model is discussed as a solution to the problem of adolescent addicts. A total of 81 adolescent addicts aged 13 to 21 years were involved from three drug rehabilitation centers on the East Coast. The data was then analyzed using descriptive analysis to obtain mean values for the types of drugs taken by adolescent addicts. The results found that adolescent addicts have taken various types of drugs since the beginning. The CRAFT model is an approach that is customed in two phases which involve families and communities in the post-rehabilitation process in institutions. The idea of the CRAFT model is to empower families and communities to encourage active participation throughout the recovery process.
