“…Both of these findings are in contrast to previous studies, which reported smaller effects for brief interventions (Cohen's d ¼ 0.28) [10] and larger effects for family interventions [11][12][13]. A possible explanation for the observed differences is the heterogeneity of studies included in the mentioned reviews.…”

“…Interactions with family are central to the daily lives of adolescents, and treatment of adolescents without regard for family involvement is likely to fail. Published treatment recommendations highlight family-based treatment for adolescents with AUDs [151] as the ideal mode of treatment. In addition, certain family characteristics are associated with treatment outcomes in adolescents with AUDs.…”

Alcohol abuse and dependence are among the most common psychiatric disorders occurring in adolescents. This article will examine clinically relevant research on the development, diagnosis, course, treatment, and adult outcomes of adolescent alcohol use disorders (AUDs). A developmental history of childhood mental disorders reflecting psychological dysregulation predicts adolescent AUDs. The DSM-IV AUD definitions developed for adults are generally valid for adolescents, although some adolescents with significant alcohol problems are not identified by this diagnostic system. Adolescents with AUDs typically have other substance involvements, comorbid mental disorders, and problematic family relationships. While biomedical complications seen in chronic alcoholic adults are typically absent, acute biomedical complications of intoxication, such as alcohol poisoning or traumatic injury, may contribute to excess mortality in adolescents. Psychosocial interventions promoting abstinence are the most common treatments for AUDs, with credible empirical support available for family-based approaches. While few drug trials have been completed for adolescents with AUDs, pharmacological interventions are available for alcohol withdrawal, craving, and comorbid mental disorders. Some adolescents with AUDs manifest chronic alcoholism in adulthood; many others transition to abstinence or normative drinking. Alcohol abstinence is the primary treatment focus, although other complications need to be addressed and treated to foster optimal clinical outcomes.

“…There is little controlled evidence available on treatment outcome for SUD (Bukstein, 1995 ;Bukstein et al, 1997). Two large studies, the Drug Abuse Reporting Program (DARP ; Sells & Simpson, 1979) and the Treatment Outcome Prospective Study (TOPS ; Hubbard, Cavanaugh, Craddock, & Rachal, 1985) made no formal diagnosis.…”

Adolescent substance abuse, with its heterogeneity, its complexity and its association with behavioural, physical and mental health problems is of increasing interest to many; the politician, the economist, clinicians and researchers, families and young people themselves. Data concerning the prevalence and trends in use of a range of substances in different countries, cultures and different groups are reviewed. The influence of associated mental and physical health problems, the multiple definitions applied to use and abuse and the confounding effect of different ideologies and cultural differences are considered. There is now much interest in the understanding of risk and protective influences, including multi focused prevention programmes among vulnerable young people. Some positive effects of universal prevention programmes are reported, although too often they lack thoroughness in programme implementation, data collection and follow up. Indeed compared to the adult addiction literature there is a death of research on adolescent treatment outcomes. Research needs to address treatment and cost effectiveness in different settings with different groups. The evidence tends to support multi faceted interventions for high risk youths. However, the use of evidence based programmes with a scientific basis should be supported and implemented.
