Aggression to people or animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, serious violation of rules: these are characteristics of conduct disorder. Subtypes of this disorder differ by prognosis, age of onset, and severity of symptoms.
To successfully treat mental health disorders in adolescents, it is important to first address any existing substance abuse issues. A module in Hazelden's Adolescent Co-occurring Disorder Series, Substance Use and Conduct Disorder provides you with information about the disorder, informs you of proven or promising treatments, and includes reproducible workbook pages for client use.
Substance Use and Conduct Disorder is a reproducible 50-page workbook of client exercises and facilitator information. The exercises are designed to be used with the help of a counselor, therapist, psychologist, social worker, or physician. This module can be used in numerous settings--schools, criminal justice settings, mental health units, and chemical dependency treatment units. It also works as a self-assessment and learning tool in group or individual settings.
Among the 10 session topics: "How Did You Get Here," "Alcohol and Drug Use Inventory," and "Recipe for Success." Three-ring binder available separately, or free with the purchase of the entire series (#0391).
