N2 - Although adolescence is a developmental period characterized by increased experimentation with alcohol and drugs, substance use and abuse during adolescence is a serious concern with substantial consequences for adolescents and their families. These concerns include psychosocial problems, cognitive deficits, and reduced motivation to succeed academically. This chapter reviews the prevalence of adolescent substance use, risk factors, prevention and treatment, and adolescent resiliency in the presence of risk. Several individual and family-based interventions are effective in treating adolescent addiction. Interventions that use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational enhancing approaches are particularly effective, as are interventions that ameliorate risks across multiple systems (home, school, community). Despite heightened risk during adolescence, many youth, especially those with supportive parents and teachers, avoid substance use problems, and most will reduce use naturally as they transition to young adulthood.
