Derived from interventions for conduct disorders, family-based approaches seek to modify negative interactions between family members, improve communication between members, and develop effective problem-solving skills to address areas of conflict (Anderson et al., 2007; Spoth et al., 2012). Multisystemic therapy (MST), for example, involves intensive intervention that targets family, peer, school, and community systems; it has been especially effective in the treatment of SUDs among delinquent adolescents (Henggeler et al., 2008).
