1. Examine the prevalence, course, and consequences of adolescent substance use, co-occurring disorders and the unmet need for treatment overall
2. Summarize major trends in the adolescent treatment system and New Hampshire
3. Highlight what it takes to move the field towards evidenced-based practice related to assessment, treatment, program evaluation and planning
4. Present the findings from several recent treatment studies on substance abuse treatment research, trauma and violence/crime
Goals of this Presentation are to

With repeated use, there is a cumulative
effect of reduced brain activity which
requires increasingly more stimulation (i.e.,
tolerance)
Even after 100 days of abstinence
activity is still low

Key Implications
Adolescence is the peak period of risk for and actual on-set of substance use disorders
Adolescent substance use can have short and long terms costs to society
There are real and often lasting consequence of adolescent substance use on brain functioning and brain development
Earlier Intervention during adolescence and young adult hood can reduce the duration of addiction careers

27
Summary of Problems in the Treatment System
The public systems is changing size, referral source, and focus
Less than 50% stay 50 days (~7 weeks) Less the 25% stay the 3 months recommended by
NIDA researchers Less than half have positive discharges After intensive treatment, less than 10% step down to
outpatient care Major problems are not reliably assessed (if at all) Difficult to link assessment data to placement or
treatment planning decisions
28
So what does it mean to move the field towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP)?
Introducing explicit intervention protocols that are– Targeted at specific problems/subgroups and outcomes– Having explicit quality assurance procedures to cause adherence
at the individual level and implementation at the program level
Having the ability to evaluate performance and outcomes – For the same program over time, – Relative to other interventions
Introducing reliable and valid assessment that can be used – At the individual level to immediately guide clinical judgments
about diagnosis/severity, placement, treatment planning, and the response to treatment
– At the program level to drive program evaluation, needs assessment, performance monitoring and long term program planning
29
Major Predictors of Bigger Effects
1. Chose a strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence
2. Used quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation
3. Used proactive case supervision of individual
4. Used triage to focus on the highest severity subgroup

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Interventions that Typically do Better than Usual Practice in Reducing Recidivism (29% vs. 40%)
Aggression Replacement Training Reasoning & Rehabilitation Moral Reconation Therapy Thinking for a Change Interpersonal Social Problem Solving MET/CBT combinations and Other manualized CBT Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Functional Family Therapy (FFT) Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT) Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) Assertive Continuing Care
Source: Adapted from Lipsey et al 2001, Waldron et al, 2001, Dennis et al, 2004
NOTE: There is generally little or no differences in mean effect size between these brand names
32
Other Protocols Targeted at Specific Issues:
Detoxification services and medication, particularly related to opioid and methamphetamine use
Tobacco cessation Adolescent psychiatric services related to depression,
anxiety, ADHD, and conduct disorder Trauma, suicide ideation, & parasuicidal behavior Need for child maltreatment interventions (not just
reporting protocols) HIV Intervention to reduce high risk pattern of sexual
behavior Anger Management Problems with family, school, work, and probation Recovery coaches, recovery schools, recovery housing and
other adolescent oriented self help groups / services
33
On-site proactive urine testing can be used to reduce false negatives by more than half
Reduction in false negative reports at no
additional cost Effects grow when
protocol is repeated
34
Implementation is Essential (Reduction in Recidivism from .50 Control Group Rate)
The effect of a well implemented weak program is
as big as a strong program implemented poorly
The best is to have a strong
program implemented
well
Thus one should optimally pick the strongest intervention that one can
implement wellSource: Adapted from Lipsey, 1997, 2005
35
Implications of Implementation Science
Can identify complex and simple protocols that improve outcomes
Interventions have to be reliably delivered in order to achieve reliable outcomes
Simple targeted protocols can make a big difference
Need for reliable assessment of need, implementation, and outcomes

CYT Cannabis Youth Treatment Randomized Field Trial

Context Circa 1997 Cannabis had become more potent, was associated with a wide of
problems (particularly when combined with alcohol), and had become the leading substances mentioned in arrests, emergency room admissions, autopsies, and treatment admissions (doubling in in 5 years)
Over 80% of adolescents with Cannabis problems were being seen in outpatient setting
The median length of stay was 6 weeks, with only 25% making it 3 months
There were no published manuals targeting adolescent marijuana users in outpatient treatment
The purpose of CYT was to manualize five promising protocols, field test their relative effectiveness, cost, and benefit-cost and provide them to the field

Post script on ACC
The ACC intervention improved adolescent adherence to the continuing care expectations of both residential and outpatient staff; doing so improved the rates of short term abstinence and, consequently, long term abstinence.
Despite these GAINs, many adolescents in ACC (and more in UCC) did not adhere to continuing care plans.
The ACC1 main findings are published and findings from two subsequent experiments are currently under review
CSAT is currently replicating ACRA/ACC in 32 sites
The ACC manual is being distributed via the website and the CD you have been provided.

Need for Tracks, Phases and Continuing Care
Almost a third of the adolescents are “returning” to treatment, 23% for the second or more time
We need to understand what did and did not work the last time and have alternative approaches
We need tracks or phases that recognize that they may need something different or be frustrated by repeating the same material again and again
We need to have better step down and continuing care protocols
100
Recommendations for Further Developments…
Evidenced based interventions can come from both research and practice
Evidence based interventions can improve implementation of treatment and treatment outcomes
Practice based evidence can be used to improve outcomes and is of equal importance
Evidenced based interventions and their outcomes can be replicated in practice
Continuing care and is a key determinant of long term outcomes
101
Recommendations for Further Developments…
We need to target the latter phases of treatment to impact the post-treatment recovery environment and/or social risk groups that are the main predictors of long term relapse
We need to move beyond focusing on acute episodes of care to focus on continuing care and a recovery management paradigm
We need to better understand the impact of involvement in juvenile justice system and how it can be harnessed to help
More work is need on the use of schools as a location for providing primary treatment (they have entrée to the population and appear to be the venue of choice) and recovery-schools to provide support for those coming out of residential treatment
