Vaughn Ph.D. and Shannon Cooper-Sadlo MSW, LCSW

DETECTION & TREATMENT OF ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS IN ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN


Course Description and Objectives
The consequences of alcohol and drug dependence are vast and often have its roots in childhood and adolescence. Therefore, it is critical to effectively screen for the signs and symptoms of substance use and abuse at the earliest stages possible. Once screening takes place there are a host of treatments available that have proven efficacy. The emphasis in this course will be on connecting research to practice in order to forge a stronger association between interdisciplinary empirical findings on substance use and abuse in childhood and adolescence on one hand and the policies and practices needed for increased effectiveness of social workers on the other. The primary objectives are to: 1) Review cutting-edge research on childhood origins of substance abuse biological, psychological, and epidemiologic findings. 2) Review types of common abuse substances and techniques for early screening and detection. Discuss relevant and evidence-based strategies that can be delivered in a feasible and efficient manner.
