Youth Substance Abuse and Co-occurring Disorders provides a state-of-the art, evidence-based review of substance abuse, the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities, and other high-risk behaviors in youth. The contributors, renowned experts in the field of substance use disorders (SUDs), examine the theory and practice with which clinicians must be conversant to assess, treat, and develop services for adolescents with SUDs. Common comorbid conditions include depression and schizophrenia, self-harm behaviors, and bipolar, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, attention-deficit/hyperactivity, conduct, and oppositional disorders, all of which can either precede SUD or develop as a consequence of SUD. The book's comprehensive coverage makes it an ideal text. In addition, the authors focus throughout on areas demanding further research
