Pharmacotherapy interventions for adolescent co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders: a systematic review.
This systematic literature review examined the impact of pharmacotherapy interventions on adolescents with substance use (SU) disorders and mental health issues. The authors included ten randomized controlled trials exploring seven pharmacotherapies in the final evaluation. All studies had low to moderate risk of bias. Four studies evaluated pharmacotherapy for co-occurring depression and SU, 3 evaluated ADHD and SU, and 3 evaluated bipolar disorder and SU. Five of the 10 studies included a behavioral intervention. They found no evidence that pharmacotherapy for co-occurring mental health diagnoses impacted SU.
