Results: the care to the adolescent crack user assisted in the network involves care specificities in three scopes: adolescence as the life cycle stage, social aspects that involve the adolescent in the use situation, and differentiated care strategies to the adolescent using crack. Conclusion: the network services accessed by the adolescent crack user should be prepared to welcome him in their specificities, assessing the needs of care and promoting therapeutic workshops geared to the needs of this public in the specialized service.
