Landmark/HealthPoint Diagnostics hs-CRP Test is a self collected, lab analysis that helps predict a persons risk of cardiovascular disease.
Working with a team of nationally recognized experts, Drug Strategies has identified nine key elements of effective adolescent drug treatment. These are:
• Assessment and Treatment Matching -- Accurate assessment is an important first step in diagnosing substance abuse disorders as well as psychiatric conditions. A treatment plan should be created that matches the severity of the problem.
• Comprehensive, Integrated Treatment Approach -- Program services must address all aspects of a teen's life, including school, juvenile justice, mental and physical health, and the community.
• Family Involvement in Treatment -- Parents have a powerful influence on their teen's development. Research shows that involving parents in the teen's treatment produces better outcomes.
• Developmentally Appropriate Program -- Treatment programs and materials need to be tailored to adolescents, who are more concrete thinkers than adults and also have less-developed verbal skills.
• Engage and Retain Teens in Treatment -- Program strategies and activities should build a therapeutic alliance-a climate of trust between the therapist and the client-which facilitates behavior change.
• Qualified Staff -- Staff need to be knowledgeable about adolescent development and co-occurring mental disorders as well as substance abuse and addiction.
• Gender and Cultural Competence -- Treatment experts agree that programs should recognize both gender and cultural differences in their treatment approach, since recent research points to significant differences between male and female adolescent drug users.
• Continuing Care -- Continuing care services include relapse prevention training, follow-up plans and referrals to community resources.
• Treatment Outcomes -- Adolescent research is in its infancy and only a few programs adequately address evaluation of their effectiveness in dealing with teen substance abuse issues.
