The Center for Adolescent Wellness will provide both systems linkage and treatment services to sentenced substance-abusing juveniles (between the ages of 14 and 18) who are returning to their families from adult or juvenile incarceration. Collaboration with key stakeholders, best practice interventions (Chestnut Health Systems Bloomington's Out Patient and Intensive Outpatient Programs and Assertive Continuing Care) and varying modalities of treatment that include residential substance abuse treatment, intensive outpatient, and community-based treatment will address current deficits in care for sentenced substance-abusing juveniles. This program will have both treatment and systems linkages components. Systems linkages and treatment services are grounded in scientific theories and best practice guidelines related to substance abuse and criminal behavior among youth.

With the Tallapoosa Methamphetamine Intervention Project (TMIP), the Tallapoosa Judicial Circuit Court of the Courts of Georgia will expand and enhance treatment services in the underserved rural Northwest Georgia counties of Polk and Haralson so that the communities have the ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, community-based, appropriate, and effective response to the increasing problem of methamphetamine (MA) use. The project will: 1) increase access to services and resources for the target population and their families; 2) increase the availability of much needed resources in the underserved area; 3) prevent future substance abuse by the children (and other family members) through provision of service delivery to the entire family through the program participants.
