In the field of adolescent substance abuse treatment, dual diagnosis is the rule rather than the exception, making assessment and treatment complicated. Adolescent Substance Abuse: Psychiatric Comorbidity and High-Risk Behaviors comprehensively discusses the magnitude, etiology, and characteristics of problems and substance use disorders (SUD), and extensively explains ways to assess, treat, and develop services for adolescents. This unique text is based on Evidence-Based Practice literature and clinical experience. It closely examines the assessment and treatment of psychiatric comorbid disorders among adolescents such as depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and high-risk behaviors including suicidal behavior, self-harm behavior, and gambling behavior. The text is extensively referenced and several chapters include helpful tables and figures to clearly display the data. Book jacket.
