abstract = {The present study examined the effectiveness of a residential substance use program for adolescents by comparing 56 treatment completers and a comparison group of 56 treatment-seeking individuals who were equivalent on baseline variables. Longitudinal and cross-sectional group differences were examined for substance use, mental health, and psychosocial outcomes. Results indicated that treatment completers demonstrated lower rates of substance use, problem behaviors, and interactions with law enforcement, as well as greater ratings of physical health, mental health, and family function. This study supports the use of residential treatment for substance-using adolescents, suggesting improvements in a variety of domains.},
