  • Title: Delinquents and drug use: a model program for community reintegration.
    Author: Haggerty KP, Wells EA, Jenson JM, Catalano RF, Hawkins JD.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1989; 24(94):439-56. PubMed ID: 2763910.
    Abstract:
    Evidence indicates that serious and persistent delinquency and the frequent use of illicit drugs emerge from common etiological roots. This suggests that treatment efforts which target risk factors of adolescent drug use and crime may be effective in preventing subsequent antisocial behavior. This paper describes Project ADAPT, a treatment program for juvenile delinquents based on the Social Development Model, which integrates this knowledge of risk factors. Project ADAPT is a 3 1/2-year demonstration project which combines behavioral skill training, supportive network development, and involvement in prosocial activities to facilitate the community reentry of youths following placement in a Washington state correctional facility.
