Webinar Description: The second webinar regarding youth/adolescent substance use disorder regards treatments for young people, as well as the unique challenges and opportunities which present in this population. There are various treatment methods which can be successful in young people with substance use disorder, however, the methods by which patients are matched to treatment are largely theoretical. The goal of this activity is to explain how to translate the body of research into practice so you can apply effective treatment methods to young people you are treating. Lastly, the webinar will include information on what to consider before making a treatment decision with your young patients.
