We Can Help!
We are a group of clinicians, researchers and trainers who have pioneered the assessment, implementation and transmission of evidence-based practices in the field of adolescent substance-use treatment. We have trained and certified an unprecedented number of clinicians and clinical supervisors, and developed "local trainers" that provide agencies with cost-effective sustainability. Our experience in providing demonstrated, affordable results is unexcelled anywhere.
The Practice
After over a decade of research and experience, we have selected Motivational Enhancement Treatment/Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (5 Sessions) (MET/CBT 5) as the evidence-based practice that provides excellent client outcomes (both substance-use and mental health) at a fraction of the cost of other "Brand-Name" programs. We have included detailed information about MET/CBT 5 and the studies that led to its selection as our practice of choice in our "About MET/CBT" section.
Our Training Products
We are the only training team that has been working with MET/CBT5 since its inception. Our training methods have undergone a decade of development and our results have been carefully reviewed by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
Agencies who contract with us implement MET/CBT5 quickly, effectively, and are equipped to train new staff as needed - often for under $10,000! These training products are described in our "Training Products" section. We have a number of training events scheduled, some with openings for individuals or small groups of clinicians.
