Description
Background and Purpose
In 2017, an estimated 992,000 adolescents aged 12 to 17 in the United States (4% of the adolescent population) and 5.1 million young adults aged 18 to 25 (14.8% of the young adult population) met diagnostic criteria for a substance use disorder. When left untreated or ineffectively treated, adolescents with substance use disorders are at risk of experiencing a cascade of far-reaching adverse outcomes that often persist into adulthood. The pervasive negative consequences associated with untreated or ineffectively treated adolescent substance use, and the high lethality of opioid misuse, underscore the importance of identifying effective interventions to treat adolescent substance users.
