Abstract

This paper presents a selective review of focusing on new emerging age group (Late Adolescents (LA) & Early Adults (EA)) and their needs of psychological interventions for substance abuse. Substance abuse, particularly involving alcohol and cannabis, poses significant risks to the well-being and development of LA and EA. The transitional phase from high school to college exposes this age group to various environmental factors that increase the likelihood of substance misuse. The review emphasizes the importance of tailored interventions for LA and EA, considering their unique developmental processes and individual needs. Several evidence-based psychological interventions are discussed in this review. The phone-based parent-to-parent support program (PPSP) is highlighted as a crucial adjunctive intervention that supports LA and EA by assisting their parents. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown effectiveness in addressing substance misuse and helping individuals develop coping skills. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) has also proven valuable in preventing relapses and managing emotional regulation. Additionally, the role of hope, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing (MI) in treatment is explored and has been used as adjunctive treatment for decades. These interventions promote positive expectations, enhance self-efficacy, and address ambivalence towards substance use. The emerging field of music therapy is highlighted as a promising approach that utilizes music to modify emotional states associated with substance cravings. Schema Therapy is also discussed as a potential intervention targeting maladaptive schemas and core beliefs. In conclusion, this review underscores the need for specialized psychological interventions for LA and EA with substance abuse. The discussed interventions provide a comprehensive approach that considers the unique characteristics and developmental processes of this age group. Further research and clinical trials are necessary to expand the knowledge base and improve the effectiveness of psychological interventions for LA and EA with substance misuse.
