    Michelle K White, Susan H Godley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2004

    This exploratory study used in-depth interviews with 12 adolescent participants and four parents to describe their perceptions of outpatient substance abuse treatment. Adolescents found treatment to be different than they had expected, expressed preferences for different session formats (group, individual, family), and defined treatment success in different ways than their parents. There were no common themes regarding what adolescents and parent…

    Susan H Godley, Nora Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2004

Ninety-five percent of participants…

The World Wide Web is an inexpensive tracking tool offering cost-effective and time-saving access to several information networks and agencies that may provide information on program participants. The use of the World Wide Web as a tracking t…
