Adolescents that are expected to live in a halfway house, institution, independent or assisted living, foster care, or outside of geographical area will be excluded.
Adolescents with suicidal or homicidal risk at screening or baseline will be included in the study only after crisis stabilization and consultation with crisis stabilization provider.
Adolescents with current/pending legal charges for severe offences will be included in the study. However, adolescents with current/pending severe criminal offenses (e.g., murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, sexual battery/assault) that may result in short- or long-term incarceration will be excluded to maximize their availability to the protocol. Adolescents who are otherwise court involved will be included.
Adolescents from non-restricted settings will be excluded if they are already receiving regular (approximately 1 or more sessions per week) treatment services for drug abuse.
