Allen, Dr. Melody and their guest, Scott Sowle, delve into the fact that teens are using drugs and alcohol at

importance of family involvement in treatment, the different needs of adolescent boys and girls in

residential treatment, providing a continuity of care, and engaging and retaining teens in the treatment

process.
