Substance Misuse and Young People: Critical Issues is a
comprehensive source of information on young people's requirements
for assessment, treatment and other interventions because of their
misuse of substances. It highlights approaches that enhance
understanding of the routes that lead young people to substance
misuse and also the routes away from it. The emergence of new
substances and methods of misuse makes this ever more relevant. The
authors are international experts in the fields of psychiatry,
paediatrics, medicine, psychology, genetics, resilience,
neuropharmacology and epidemiology. This book acknowledges how
widespread both substance misuse and psychiatric disorders are and
explores the complex, challenging links between co-occurring
conditions. Use of substances is associated with illness and
premature mortality, and more so for people who have combined
disorders. The authors critically assess the vital need for
intervention during adolescence and early adulthood. They provide
detailed clinical views of the psychosocial interventions and
medications currently available and illustrate them with case
studies that emphasise adolescents' experiences and thoughtful
lifestyle-specific interventions. This book provides theoretical
knowledge and indicates the practical skills that practitioners
require for work with young people who misuse substances. It is
highly applicable to medical practitioners, psychologists,
pharmacists, social workers, police officers, probation officers,
educationalists and related social and healthcare professionals.
