Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment Project (AAFT):  CHS Substance Abuse program received a federally funded grant through King County to provide treatment service to low income and indigent youth in King County between the ages of 12 and 17. The grant is funded by US Department of Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Youth must have an alcohol or other drug problem (abuse or dependency). They must complete an ASAM assessment requiring level I.0 Outpatient or level II.1 Intensive Outpatient treatment. Parental permission and a six month commitment are required to complete this free program, including a six month follow-up. The evidenced based practice Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach/Assertive Continuing Care, or A-CRA/ACC, is used by certified CHS staff to administer this project. This consists of individual sessions, family/caregiver sessions, and case management.
