Exploring current issues of drug use by young people, Intervening
with Drug-Involved Youth provides a special analysis of
intervention by an outstanding group of experts in the field.
Noteworthy topics considered include the scope of the problem,
prevention and treatment initiatives, and international
perspectives. The contributors examine what programs have proved
effective and which initiatives lack the outcome necessary to
reduce drug use among youths. Prevention and treatment strategies
analyzed include school- and street-based programs operated by law
enforcement, family therapy, residential approaches, programs in
Brazil and India, and more. This comprehensive volume also features
a fascinating and thorough introduction on the history of drug use,
giving the reader a frame of reference for understanding
drug-involved youth and options for intervention. Prevention of
other high-risk behaviors, including those that increase the risk
of contracting HIV, is also considered. Intervening with
Drug-Involved Youth is an essential resource for drug abuse
counselors, clinicians, and researchers and provides an organized
overview of specific interventions that will be useful in college
courses in counseling, social work, family therapy, drug abuse,
juvenile delinquency, and criminology.
