Adolescent Substance Abuse:Research and Clinical Advances

Adolescent drug abuse is one of the most challenging disorders to
treat. It impacts on schools, community-based programs, mental health
and medical facilities, and juvenile justice settings. This book
provides practitioners, program developers and policy makers with the
most up-to-date and practical information for improving outcomes in
adolescent substance abuse. The authors cover a range of issues,
including empirically-based treatment development protocols; how to
incorporate innovative treatment models into diverse clinical
settings; research advances; interventions with special populations;
culturally based intervention guidelines, and recommendations for
practice and policy.
