Course Description

Overdose deaths among adolescents are rising and effective substance use treatment with adolescents requires more than just simplifying adult interventions. Providers on the front lines of this growing public health crisis need specific education and developmentally appropriate interventions to support the adolescent population with their unique needs and challenges as they attempt to establish and maintain recovery. 

This course will provide participants with a brief overview of the current trends in adolescent substance use, discussion of adolescent development, and special considerations needed when working with adolescents. Participants will be introduced to the Gorski-CENAPS adolescent developmental model and the newly updated adolescent relapse warning signs. Participants will be asked to explore their personal beliefs about adolescent substance use and learn strategies to prevent burnout. After engaging in this presentation, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to effectively deliver adolescent relapse prevention treatment to help facilitate a recovery process for young people.
