Summary

Given the individual and societal consequences of teen drug use, prevention efforts have increased in order to help avoid years of the debilitating effects that substance use has on the health and lifespan development of adolescents. Prevention programming focuses on changing adolescents’ existing habits that precede occurrence or worsening of the substance use behavior, whereas cessation intervention efforts focus on disrupting behavior patterns and offering proper treatment. Providing high-quality substance use prevention programs to adolescents requires sound, evidence-based material, implementation fidelity, interactive practitioner involvement, and use of appropriate delivery channels. When implementing these programs, practitioners need to consider the neurobiological, cognitive, social, and environmental aspects of substance use among youth to effectively address crucial time-points and processes during an adolescent’s life, such as puberty. Practitioners should also be aware of emerging threats to adolescents, such as use of marijuana, e-cigarettes, and opioids, and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders.
