Training Description
Substance abuse patterns evolve and cycle frequently within the adolescent population, which can present difficulties for professionals in the human service field to identify and provide adequate service arrangements.
This presentation reviews trends in adolescent substance using behaviors, with a particular focus on synthetic substances, to include origination, pharmacology, abuse patterns and treatment options. Brief reviews of additional substance use patterns are presented, including: alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, heroin and methamphetamine.
