Innovations in Adolescent Substance Abuse Interventions

Innovations in Adolescent Substance Abuse Interventions provides, for the first time, a single reference source for state-of-the-art, empirically tested approaches to assessing, preventing, and treating adolescent substance abuse problems. Previous texts on adolescent substance abuse have given limited attention to intervention, have been non-empirical in orientation, or have been devoted to a single intervention approach. This is remarkable given increasing international concern about how to address substance use problems among youth. The book includes sixteen chapters from leaders in the field, and the scope of the book includes assessment, primary prevention, secondary prevention, and treatment.
