Treatment of Adolescents
with Substance Use Disorders
Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series 32
This TIP, Treatment of Adolescents With Substance Use Disorders, updates TIP 4, published in 1993, and presents information on substance use disorder treatment for adolescent clients. Adolescents differ from adults both physiologically and emotionally as they make the transition from child to adult and, thus, require treatment adapted to their needs. The onset of substance use is occurring at younger ages, resulting in more adolescents entering treatment for substance use disorders than has been observed in the past. In order to treat this population effectively, treatment providers must address the issues that play significant roles in an adolescent's life, such as cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and moral development, and family and peer environment. This TIP focuses on ways to specialize treatment for adolescents, as well as on common and effective program components and approaches being used today.
