Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of an integrated treatment approach for youth with concurrent disorders The combined intervention will include individual sessions of Motivational Interviewing followed by inclusion in a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills-based group
The following main hypotheses will be examined
1 Youth with CD who receive an MI intervention will show increased motivation and readiness to change from pre to post MI intervention
2 Youth with CD who participate in a DBT intervention orientation session followed by 12-week DBT skills training groupwill show reductions in substance use and improvements in mental health coping and affect regulation between pre to post treatment The investigators expect that these treatment gains will be maintained at three-month follow-up
