Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment.

Substance abuse has steadily increased among adolescents in recent years. Current research has focused on treatment methods and important factors for effective treatment of adolescents. Family-based treatment methods such as Multidimensional Family Therapy and evidence based family interventions are beneficial because of the focus on family. In addition, treatment methods focusing on adolescent strengths, motivational interviewing, and self-teaching workbooks can provide some advantages. The need for adolescents to be committed, disciplined, and focused to treatment is crucial. Research shows that families, friends, and schools play a significant role by offering support and empathy for youth.
