N2  - Substance abuse is highly prevalent among youth involved in the child welfare and juvenile systems. For these youth, the need for treatment and a safe recovery environment is essential. This paper uses a structural violence approach to analyze the systems youth are involved with and the impact these systems have on achieving and maintaining healthy living placements. The analysis uses qualitative methods to explore two in-depth case studies from youth in Tucson, Arizona. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that systems have become impotent, at times, to the point of inhibiting such recovery.
