APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND THE U.S TREATMENT MODELS TO ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT FOR ADOLESCENTS IN VIETNAM

APPLICATION OF THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND THE U.S TREATMENT MODELS TO ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT FOR ADOLESCENTS IN VIETNAM

NGOC N. NGUYEN
Summary: 
Social learning theory (SLT) and the Trans-theoretical model (TTM) successfully point out the significant impact of individual self-efficacy, family socialization process, and peer influence on the development and cessation of adolescent alcohol and drug use. Motivational interviewing (MI), multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), and 12 step programs, which are based on SLT and TTM, demonstrate their effectiveness for encouraging intrinsic motivation for change, securing family members involved in the treatment process, and establishing peer support for adolescents with alcohol and drug problems in the United States. This paper aims to provide an overview of the correlation between the theoretical framework and the treatment models in alcohol and drug treatment, and to analyze the application of the models to alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents in Vietnam, using secondary data analysis. Despite various challenges, the application of these models to alcohol and drug treatment for adolescents in Vietnam has numerous strengths.
