Info: Despite the availability of effective substance abuse treatment practices for adolescents and their families/primary caregivers (i.e., the individual(s) currently providing care for the adolescent), these practices are not being adequately utilized in the field. SAMHSA is offering grants for the provision of services to adolescents and their families/primary caregivers using previously proven effective practices that are family centered. Families/primary caregivers are an integral part of the treatment process and their inclusion increases the likelihood of successful treatment and reintegration of the adolescents into their communities following the period of formalized treatment.
