    Disorders in Adolescents The Research

INTRODUCTION
  • The research tells us the majority of youth
    referred for substance abuse treatment have at
    least one co-occurring mental health disorder
    (COD), a DSM-IV-TR mental health disorder and a
    substance use disorder (SUD).

5
Research
  • Adolescents with substance use disorders are at a
    six times risk of having a co-occurring
    psychiatric disorder (Dennis, 2004)
  • Co-Occurring disorders are associated with poorer
    treatment outcomes, both physical and
    psychological when either disorder is not treated
    (Riggs, 2003)
  • Drug abuse changes the brain chemistry of
    developing brains.
  • Psychiatric symptoms often precede the SUD

Incidence of Co-occurring Disorders in System
of Care Adolescents (Turner, Muck, Muck et al,
2004)
  • SOC sites (N 18, 290) 44 reported COD

8
Co-Occurring Disorders at Intake SOC
9
Co-Occurring Disorders Categories
  • Co-occurring disorders in adolescents are usually
    categorized into internalizing and externalizing
    disorders. These should be the treatment targets
    for the mental health interventions.
  • Internalizing anxiety, fear, shyness, low self
    esteem, sadness, depression (6) of COD
  • Externalizingnon compliance, aggression,
    attention problems, destructiveness, impulsivity,
    hyperactivity, and antisocial behavior (18-35)
    -COD
  • Both (38-65) COD

10
Co-Occurring Disorders Categories
  • Disruptive disorders and mood disorders are
    associated with earlier onset of use of
    substances and increased substance use disorders
  • Internalizing disorders are associated with SUD
    and are an antecedent of the SUD.
  • Trauma/victimization in youth with SUD range
    from 25 for males to 75 of females (Kanner,
    2004, Dennis, 2004)

11
Average Scores of Child Behavioral and Emotional
Problems for children with Co-occurring
substance use problems at Intake, 6 Months, and
12 Months
Internalizing and Externalizing Scores
Internalizing n101 F(3,98)1396,
Plt.001. Externalizing n101 F(3,98)1706,
Plt.001. Child behavioral and emotional problems
were measured by the CBCL (Child Behavior
Checklist). Clinical range for internalizing and
externalizing scores is between 60 and 63, while
clinical range for the eight syndrome scales is
between 67 and 70.
12
Gender Differences
  • Girls
  • Conduct disorder associated with SUD in both
    girls and boys, but girls with this combination
    had the highest CBCL scores for delinquency
  • Caregivers report more of both internalizing and
    externalizing problems among girls (83) than
    boys (41)
  • Girls are over represented in groups with poor
    outcomes

13
Gender Differences
  • Girls
  • Females had higher rates of Co-Occurring
    disorders and were more likely to have suffered
    physical/sexual abuse
  • Girls report significantly higher level of drug
    dependence vs abuse, (72 vs 43) in boys

14
Gender Differences
  • Boys
  • Present more often with disruptive behaviors
    (ODD/CD)
  • More often in juvenile justice settings (80)
    with COD referrals
  • In juvenile justice settings 3/4 of males and
    half of all females have COD

15
  • Section Two
  • Systems Issues - Parallel Treatment Systems and
    Colliding Cultures

16
Systems Issues Treatment Pathways
  • Different models in mental health and
    substance abuse treatment have resulted in the
    development of parallel but not intersecting
    treatment systems with different funding streams,
    mandates and treatment philosophy.

17
Clinical Barriers
  • Mental Health Treatment
  • The fundamental approach to clinical education
    has not changed appreciably since 1910 (ICM
    2000). Substance use disorders often are not
    seen as part of the care mandate.
  • Medical model
  • Emphasis on licensure
  • Emphasis on minimal self disclosure.
  • Treatment can not begin until abstinence is
    obtained

18
Clinical Barriers
  • Mental Health Treatment cont.
  • Reluctance to medicate individuals with a
    substance use disorder
  • Psychological treatments offered but with no
    substance abuse treatment component
  • Clinicians are reluctant to treat substance
    abusing individuals
  • Clinicians often not cross trained in SUD
  • Individuals with SUD often minimize the disorder
    and vice-versa

19
Clinical Barriers
  • Substance Abuse Treatment
  • Knowledge of mental health disorders is often
    limited and often out of scope of practice of the
    providers.
  • Based on a peer relationship model
  • Licensure not necessary (changing)
  • Treatment provider often a recovering individual
  • Willing to disclose substance abuse history
  • Individual with substance abuse history treated
    as an expert valued.
  • Often reluctance to allow any medication of any
    kind
  • Treatment often ignores mental health problems
    and focuses on substance abuse
  • Providers not cross trained in mental health
    treatments

20
  • Section Three
  • Assessment of Co-Occurring Disorders

21
Assessment and Screening for Co-Occurring
Disorders
  • The process of screening, assessment, and
    treatment planning should be an integrated
    approach that addresses the substance abuse and
    mental health disorders, each in the context of
    the other and neither should be considered
    primary.
  • Expect comorbidity as it is higher than realized
  • Assess for trauma/victimization

22
Assessment and Screening for Co-Occurring
Disorders
  • Substance use assessment should include
  • Onset, progression, patterns of use, frequency,
    tolerance/withdrawal, triggers.
  • Assessment for patterns of use of multiple drugs
  • Consequences of drug usage
  • Motivation for treatment
  • Family history regarding substance use including
    extended family

23
Assessment and Screening for Co-Occurring
Disorders
  • The assessment process ideally would include
  • A brief screening assessment for substance use
    disorders as part of the standard mental health
    assessment at entry and throughout treatment
  • A full substance abuse disorder assessment for
    adolescents with more complicated/ Co-morbid
    disorders and identified SUD

24
Assessment Instruments
  • Screening Instruments
  • Adolescent Alcohol Involvement Scale
  • Adolescent Drug Involvement Scale
  • Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for
    Teenagers (POSIT)

  • Recommendations

85
Recommendations
  • It is clear that there are enormous mental
    health needs for adolescents with Co-Occurring
    Disorders.

86
Recommendations
  • Assessment
  • Comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment
  • Assess Mental Health Issues using standard mental
    health intake process/evaluation
  • Assess for SUD using a brief screening tool for
    substance use disorders in ALL adolescents
    entering system

87
Recommendations
  • Assessment
  • Follow up with a comprehensive substance use
    disorder assessment for adolescents who have a
    co-morbid substance abuse disorder
  • Assess for trauma/victimization
  • Assess readiness for change

88
Recommendations
  • Treatment
  • Implement science based psychotherapies for
    co-occurring disorders into routine practice
  • Target most common co-morbidities ,i.e.
    Depression, ADHD, PTSD, CD
  • Target most common substances abused marijuana
    alcohol/cigarettes

89
Recommendations
  • Treatment
  • Conceptualize SUD as a process waxes/wanes,
    relapse expectable. Unrealistic to expect total
    remission in all cases.
  • Medication has a place in treating co-morbid
    disorders, particularly the internalizing
    disorders
