It depends on what kind of treatment they’re in. Juvenile rehab facilities put a lot of restrictions on patients (no caffeine, or candy, no music or television etc.), make them attend therapy, and schooling. When they’ve completed steps in the “recovery process” (all rehabs are different) they can earn back privileges. In therapy they discuss with peers there experiences with drugs, the effects of drugs, and the effects drugs have had on their lives. Most facilities also require patients to attend personal therapy sessions to discuss more personal aspects of addiction and recovery. After completing a rehab program patients are almost always required to attend AA (alcoholics anonymous) or NA (narcotics anonymous) meetings, are on probation, and sometimes have fines and/or community service.
