Treating Adolescents for Substance Abuse and Comorbid Psychiatric Disorders
TLDR
Practical clinical guidelines, grounded in current research, are described, for providing integrated treatment services in adolescents for the treatment of comorbid psychiatric disorders with substance use disorders in adolescents.Abstract:
Recent research has identified a cluster of standardized approaches that effectively treat adolescents with substance abuse disorders. Many of these approaches share elements that may be adopted to improve outcomes in substance treatment programs. In adolescents, treatment goals should be informed by a comprehensive assessment that includes the adolescent patient’s developmental history and evaluation of psychiatric comorbidity. Treatment for behavioral, psychosocial, and psychiatric problems should be integrated with substance abuse interventions. The author describes practical clinical guidelines, grounded in current research, for providing integrated treatment services. Special emphasis is given to strategies for integrating the treatment of comorbid psychiatric disorders with substance use disorders in adolescents.read more
