1. Substance Use and the Adolescent Discussion
Substance Use and the Adolescent Discussion ON Substance Use and the Adolescent
DiscussionOver the past decade, cases of substance related disorders have appeared more
prevalent in society. From the mental health perspective, research has shown an increase in
cases of substance related disorders, particularly with adolescents. This increase has
prompted further investigation into adolescent risk and resilience factors, as well as
accuracy in diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans. Yet, in cases of adolescent substance
use, further investigation is still needed concerning notification rights of parents, legal
authorities, and/or case workers.For this Application, review the client case study in the
Learning Resources. Consider the characteristics of the client. Which specific characteristics
might you consider important in developing a diagnosis? Consider your rationale for
assigning particular diagnoses on the basis of the DSM. Also, think about what other
information or people you may need to include in the assessment in order to make an
accurate diagnosis.The Assignment (3–4 pages)A DSM diagnosis of the client in the case
