SUMMARY
Working with adolescents who have substance use disorders is a complex and delicate task. For treatment to be effective, nothing is more important than establishing a genuine relationship with the adolescent. A comprehensive assessment of the adolescent’s needs and family support is essential. It is unacceptable to treat adolescents with adult approaches that do not recognize the developmental needs of this age group. Effective treatment will likely include varied methods. A comprehensive service delivery that incorporates individual, group, family, and possibly residential treatment is commonly required. In addition, 12-step groups and other support-based resources are sometimes necessary to achieve the goals in a treatment plan. Treatment should involve the union of contexts, such
as family, school, neighborhood, the larger community, and (commonly) the juvenile court system to achieve a successful counseling outcome with the adolescent. Long-term care should be considered.
