title: Adolescents and chemical dependency.
abstract: Practitioners seeking to develop effective treatment strategies for chemically dependent adolescents confront a literature which is overwhelming in volume and confusing and contradictory in content. The intent of this article is to critically review the literature relevant to this population. Incidence, prevalence, patterns, correlates, and consequences of use are discussed, along with their implications for social work treatment, research, and policy.
