Actual Marijuana Risk From 1980 to 1997 the potency of marijuana in federal drug seizures increased three fold. The combination of alcohol and marijuana has become very common and appears to be synergistic and leads to much higher rates of problems than would be expected from either alone. Combined marijuana and alcohol users are 4 to 47 times more likely than non-users to have a wide range of dependence, behavioral, school, health and legal problems. Marijuana and alcohol are the leading substances mentioned in arrests, emergency room admissions, autopsies, and treatment admissions.

31
Studies by Date of First Publication From 1998 to 2002 the number of adolescent treatment studies doubled and has doubled again in the past 2 years – with twice this many published in the past 2 years and over 100 adolescent treatment studies currently in the field Source: Dennis &, White (2003) at www.drugstrategies.org The results of more Clinical Trials were presented last month at JMATE than had been published through 2002!
32
Impact on Substance Use and Problems Reductions associated with a wide range of 12-step treatment (e.g., CD, Hazelden), individual and group behavior therapies (e.g., ACRA, AGT, BTOS, CBT, MET, RP), family therapy (BSFT, CFT, FDE, FFT, FSN, FST, MDFT, MST, PBFT, TIPS), adolescent treatment as usual (outpatient, short term, long term/therapeutic communities) and continuing care (Step down, ACC) No or minimal change associated with passive referrals, Educational units alone, probation services as usual, and early unstandardized outpatient services as usual Deterioration associated with treatment of adolescents in adult units, with adult models/materials Source: Bukstein & Kithas, 2002; Dennis & White (2003), & Lewinsohn et al. 1993; PNLDP, 2003
33
Effectiveness was also associated with therapies that technologically were: manual-guided had developmentally appropriate materials involved more quality assurance and clinical supervision to improve adherence/ implementation achieved early therapeutic alliance and positive outcomes successful in engaging adolescents in aftercare, support groups, positive peer reference groups, more supportive recovery environments
34
Key Points that Have Been Contentious As other therapies have improved, there is no longer the clear advantage of family therapy found in early literature reviews While there have been concerns about the potential iatrogenic effects of group therapy, the rates do not appear to be appreciably different from individual or family therapy if it is done well (important since group tx typically costs less) Effectiveness was not consistently associated with the amount of therapy over a short period of time (6-12 weeks) but was related to longer term continuing care Over time, adolescents regularly cycle between use, treatment, incarceration and recovery Treatment primarily impacts the short term movement from use to non use in the community The long term effectiveness of therapy was dependent on changes in the long term recovery environment and social risk
35
Other Important Lessons Assessment needs to be very concrete Multiple co-occurring problems are the norm in clinical samples of SUD adolescents (60-80% external disorders, 25-60% mood disorders, 16-45% anxiety disorders, 70-90% 3 or more diagnoses) Adolescents are involved in multiple systems competing to control their behavior (e.g, family, peers, school, work, criminal justice, and controlled environments) Relapse is common in the first 3-12 months Improvements generally come during active treatment and are sustained for 12 or more months Family therapies are associated with more change post active treatment and less relapse
36
Limitations of the Early Literature Small sample sizes (most under 50) High rates (30-50%) of refusals by eligible people Unstandardized measures, no measures of abuse or dependence, no measures of co-morbidity, crime or violence (just arrest) Unstandardized and minimally-supervised therapies (making replication very difficult) Minimal information on services received High rates (20-50%) of treatment dropout High rates of attrition from follow-up (25-54%) leading to potentially large (unknown) bias No controlled trials of medication for treating withdrawal, substitution therapy, blocking therapy, aversive therapy or management of cravings (though Buprenorphine studies are now under way)
37
Studies are Improving! New studies are likely to have higher rates of participation (70-90%), treatment completion (70-85%), and successful follow-up (85-95%) They are more likely to involve standardized assessments, manual-guided therapy, and better quality assurance/clinical supervision They have experimental design, multiple time points of assessment and follow-up lasting 1 or more years They include economic analysis of their costs, cost- effectiveness and benefit cost Many have agreed to pool their data to facilitate further comparisons and secondary analysis

Normal Adolescent Development Biological changes in the body, brain, and hormonal systems that continue into mid-to-late 20s. Shift from concrete to abstract thinking. Improvements in the ability to link causes and consequences (particularly strings of events over time). Separation from a family-based identity and the development of peer- and individual-based identities. Increased focus on how one is perceived by peers. Increasing rates of sensation seeking/trying new things. Development of impulse control and coping skills. Concerns about avoiding emotional or physical violence.
42
Key Adaptation for Adolescents Examples need to be altered to relevant substances, situations, and triggers Consequences have to be altered to things of concern to adolescents Most adolescents do not recognize their substance use as a problem and are being mandated to treatment All materials need to be converted from abstract to concrete concepts Co-morbid problems (mental, trauma, legal) are the norm and often predate substance use Treatment has to take into account the multiple systems (family, school, welfare, criminal justice) Less control of life and recovery environment Less aftercare and social support Complicated staffing needs

Next Steps for ACC Preliminary findings and manual published, main findings under review ACC 2 experiment is currently testing – the ACC intervention model in a multi-site trial – whether or not participants get contingency management (CM) alone or with ACC – CM is targeted at reducing use and increasing prosocial activities Also being replicated (non-experimentally) in eight clinical sites as part of CSATs Adolescent Residential Treatment (ART) grants

Concluding Comments We are entering a renaissance of new knowledge in this area, but are only reaching 1 of 10 in need Several interventions work, but 2/3 of the adolescents are still having problems 12 months later Effectiveness is related to severity, intervention strength, and adherence/implementation. We need to move beyond focusing on acute episodes of care to focus on continuing care and a recovery management paradigm It is very difficult to predict exactly who will relapse so it is essential to conduct aftercare monitoring with all adolescents Juvenile justice referrals are a central factor in recent growth of the adolescent treatment system and the intensity of JJ involvement is correlated with clinical severity
