In year 1, the h-yftrs will provide comprehensive services to 50 youth having SUD and/or COD and their families, in order to expand the provision of comprehensive services to 100 unique clients each year for the additional 4-year period (50 in YR. 1, 100 in YR. 2-5). The h-yftrs service delivery model will employ a fully integrated multi-systems family approach having a number of central therapeutic constructs including:1) establishing a positive and collaborative relationship with the client and involving the family; 2) creating explicit structure and expectations; 3) providing psycho-educational groups; 4) implementing evidence based practices (ebps) including medication assisted treatment (mat), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups, and multi-dimensional family therapy (mdft); 5) educating families on the expected course of recovery; and 6) interweaving recovery principles from the start of treatment. The h-yftrs will expand the use of evidence-based treatment services by using: individual and group counseling, family psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, multi-dimensional family therapy, relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, peer recovery coaching, and medication-assisted treatment provided by credentialed substance use clinicians and medical personnel. The h-yftrs has 4 overarching goals/objectives: (1) decrease substance use and mental health symptoms by conducting assessments and providing evidence-based, person/family centered, integrated, outpatient mental health and substance use, early intervention, and treatment services; (2) improve health and decrease health disparities by providing integrated primary care screening and health monitoring services; and (3) increase social connectedness by improving recovery capital through recovery support services.
