Study Summary

This study proposes to use quetiapine as an adjunct treatment to treatment as usual to improve both substance use disorder (SUD) and mood symptoms in youth with SUD and severe mood dysregulation (SMD). This is a randomized, double blind placebo controlled parallel design study. Youth with symptoms of mood dysregulation and active substance use that meets criteria for a SUD will be randomized to adjunct treatment with quetiapine or placebo. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with quetiapine will lead to a reduction in substance use, improvement in mood, and lead to greater engagement in outpatient treatment.

Primary Outcome

The TLFB is used to quantify self-reported drug of choice use during the past month. Counts the number of days with substance use in the past 28 days.
