Area of Science:

  • Adolescent substance use intervention
  • Clinical psychology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Older, high-risk adolescents are increasingly exhibiting substance use problems.
  • Effective intervention models are needed for this vulnerable population.
  • Community-based programs play a crucial role in adolescent care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a program model for adolescents with emerging substance use issues.
  • To evaluate the referral process and challenges within community networks.
  • To highlight the benefits of outpatient intervention groups for youth.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a program model for older, high-risk adolescents.
  • Initial client assessment and referral to appropriate services.

  • Conducting outpatient intervention groups focused on monitoring and recovery.

    • Main Results:

    • Most clients are referred to outpatient intervention groups rather than inpatient treatment.
    • Groups aim to monitor clients, foster recovery identity, and introduce support resources (e.g., AA, NA).
    • Behavioral change is a key goal, particularly for adolescents with strong community ties.

    Conclusions:

    • The described program model offers a structured approach to adolescent substance use intervention.
    • Outpatient groups are effective for monitoring, recovery support, and behavioral modification in at-risk youth.
    • Overcoming difficulties in inter-agency referrals is essential for program success.
