Behavioral disorders that can develop during childhood or adolescence are associated with a higher prevalence of substance abuse disorders in adulthood. Therefore, the involvement of nursing professionals is recommended in the development and implementation of psychoeducational intervention groups composed of multidisciplinary teams.
These groups should include the families of these young people, as they will be crucial in establishing preventive strategies for addictive disorders. Often, there are risk factors within the family dynamics, such as inadequate parenting styles or a lack of educational skills. The participation of parents allows for addressing these factors, thereby working on aspects of the immediate environment of the youth. The involvement of nursing professionals has also shown cost-effective results in these types of interventions.
