Abstract
Recent reviews of services for families with youths coping with a wide variety of problems have strongly urged inclusion of families in all services. This manuscript will review family-based intervention models that have considerable empirical support for treating adolescent substance abuse and have demonstrated success in preventing substance use. Major interventions reviewed include: Multisystemic Family Therapy, Strengthening Families Program, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Multidimensional Family Therapy, and Integrated Behavioral Family Therapy.
