Is this your first adolescent client? How did you get set up working with this client if you don't do family therapy...? kind of comes with the territory...Just a bit concerned, because these are typical issues that are to be expected working with this age group (the parent issues, need for family counseling sessions, the teen's response to you, not trusting you, etc.)
To start:
Hope your next sessions feels a bit more progressive for everyone :) Good luck!

Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change by Miller and Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is relevant to pretty much any sort of problem, and is pretty much the only effective way to engage a client who comes to therapy under duress.
Miller and Rollnick’s book on motivational interviewing was required reading at a previous job, I highly recommend it: https://www.amazon.com/Motivational-Interviewing-Helping-People-Applications/dp/1609182278
https://www.amazon.com/Motivational-Interviewing-Helping-People-Applications/dp/1609182278/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497318185&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=motivational+interviewing
That's one of my favorite resources for MI. For CBT, this is the best:
http://file.zums.ac.ir/ebook/082-Cognitive%20Behavior%20Therapy,%20Second%20Edition%20-%20Basics%20and%20Beyond-Judith%20S.%20Beck%20Phd%20Aaron%20T.%20Be.pdf
When you say drug and alcohol unit, what do you mean exactly? Are we talking medical detox only? Yikes. Or are we talking general rehab?
If you are literally doing nothing but medical detox and then the patient moves on to treatment elsewhere, then beware the burnout. ETOH and Opiate detox patients in the throes of detox are some of the most unpleasant people to be around I can think of (and I work in a maximum security prison!). This is generally offset by getting to work with them long-term and seeing the benefits of sobriety and clarity in the long run, so hopefully you'll get to see that aspect, too.
If we're talking just general rehab, then it won't be so bad. The experience you get will also depend on whether or not your clients are voluntary, and if so what level of volunteerism there is there (for example a "voluntary" methadone program can feel very involuntary to an opiate addict).
You will definitely get myriad opportunities to hone your motivational interviewing skills. It can be frustrating at first as you learn the meaning of success in working with this population. Sobriety is hard work and takes time. Sometimes seeing your client shoot up four times a day instead of six after a month's work is the best improvement you've seen in any client all month, and you have to learn to motivate yourself with these little steps.
Anywhoo . . . I used to work at a methadone clinic. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Edit: Just saw that you've not yet been in an MSW program. If you can spare the cash, I recommend picking up Miller and Rollnick's book. It'll give you the foundation you need to start practicing and understanding motivational interviewing, and if the program you get into focuses at all on direct practice then you're probably going to end up needing it anyway.

>Not everyone responds well to graphic images and videos, satirical, passive agressive criticism, or being called out and having their beliefs challenged.
So don't do any of those things. Unless the person is already open to the idea of veganism, those are recipes for disaster.
>How do you effectively change people or plant the seed in their minds
This is the book you want. And if you have somebody who is willing to have a conversation with you, something like this book might be pretty good (it's mostly for therapists helping people deal with addictions and stuff, but that's still relevant). One good video I saw recently, that clearly uses a lot of these tactics, is this vegan street interview.
You can probably do some googling for blogs and articles on the psychology of persuasion and behavior change.
EDIT: You can't expect to just show people the truth and have them immediately change their thinking. This is a quote from a book about climate change, but it's definitely relevant here:
>Ironically, one of the best proofs that information does not change people's attitudes is that science communicators continue to ignore the extensive research evidence that shows that information does not change people's attitudes.
Congrats on the career switch! :) Methinks you'll find helping people with this topic to be quite fulfilling and honestly, you'll have a head start if you're already a teacher b/c there are a lot of overlapping skills.
In the interest of time I'm going to forego personal anecdotes in favor of something that will help 10x more.
When it comes to talking to people / motivating then around fitness, everything is super counterintuitive. Logic won't convince most people, acting like a "trainer" won't motivate most people, and explicitly telling a client that they screwed up will only make them want to rebel. (If you teach kids, you'll see where these parallels come in...)
So, the best advice I can give you is to spend $50 on the book below. It is worth every single penny and will put you ahead of 99% of nutrition/fitness/healthcare professionals in your field who don't realize that helping people is all about being able to interact with them and get past their defenses.

There's a third edition book out now, and there are a few significant changes in the model. http://www.amazon.com/Motivational-Interviewing-Third-Edition-Applications/dp/1609182278
If you like to hold a book, this is probably the first one you should get. However, there are tons of great free resources for MI training on the internet as well.
Here are a few manual-type easy reads:

http://www.motivationalinterviewing.info/resources/CTI_MI_Pocket_guide.pdf
http://www.motivationalinterview.org/Documents/LearnersManualforMotivationalInterviewing.pdf
this is about coding (how well an interviewer is using MI) but there are some good examples here: http://www.motivationalinterview.org/Documents/miti3_1.pdf
I have a copy of Motivational Interviewing, Third Edition: Helping People Change (Applications of Motivational Interviewing) and would recommend it as a first read. Motivational Interviewing in the Treatment of Psychological Problems, Second Edition (Applications of Motivational Interviewing) is also pretty good. Also, as a person-centred psychotherapist, I'm bound to recommend 'Client-centered Therapy' by Carl Rogers. His non-directive, phenomenological approach to therapy was a supposedly a key influence behind MI.

Hey no worries, I'd highly recommend you check out motivational interviewing:
https://www.amazon.com/Motivational-Interviewing-Helping-People-Applications/dp/1609182278/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521061152&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=motivational+interviewing&amp;dpID=513Sr6aUE%252BL&amp;preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&amp;dpSrc=srch
Socratic questioning is a similar technique that involves asking open-ended questions to guide someone (rather than arguing a point). I think MI is specific to decision-making whereas socratic questioning can be about whatever.
Read Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change
Really helped me with issues like this.
Helping People Change by Miller & Rollnick is a great text for learning MI.
