  2. Purpose • Illustrate why it is so important to intervene with juvenile drug users • Review what we know about juvenile treatment drug courts (JTDC) so far • Compare JTDC to a newer Reclaiming Futures version of JTDC in terms of their impact on substance use, recovery, emotional problems, illegal activity and costs to society

  3. Background

  4. Adolescence is the Age of Onset Over 90% of use and problems start between the ages of 12-20 It takes decades before most recover or die Source: 2010 NSDUH, Neumark et al., 2000

  5. Adolescence Use Related to Range of Problems Source: Dennis & McGeary, 1999; OAS, 1995

  6. Problems in the Adolescent Treatment System Less than 1 in 13 adolescents (8%) with substance use disorders get into treatment Only 67% stay the 45 days minimum recommended by ONC Only 56% are positively discharged or transferred Only 43% stay the 90 days recommended by research Only 23% leaving higher levels of care are transferred to outpatient continuing care. The majority of programs do NOT use standardized assessment, evidenced-based treatment, track the clinical fidelity of the treatment they provide, or monitor health disparities in service delivery or client outcomes Varied staff education with a median of less than BA. Average of 30-32% staff turnover every year Most lack or are just starting the multi-year process of setting up electronic medical records Source: SAMHSA 2012 & Institute of Medicine (2006).

  7. Juvenile Justice and Substance Use About half of the youth in the juvenile justice system have drug related problems (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), 2001; Teplin et al., 2002). Juvenile justice systems are the leading source of referral among adolescents entering treatment for substance use problems (Dennis et al., 2003; Dennis, White & Ives, 2009; Ives et al 2010). By 2009 there were 476 juvenile treatment drug courts (JTDC) in approximately 16% of the Counties in the US and they were growing at a rate of 4% per year (Huddleston & Marlowe, 2011) • Source: Dennis, White & Ives, 2009

  8. Juvenile Treatment Drug Court Effectiveness Low levels of successful program completion among youths in drug courts was noticeable in several early studies (Applegate & Santana, 2000; Miller, Scocas & O’Connell, 1998; Rodriguez & Webb, 2004). JTDC was found to be more effective than traditional family court with community service in reducing adolescent substance abuse (particularly when using evidence-based treatment) and criminal involvement during treatment (Henggeler et al., 2006). JTDC youth did as well or better than matched youth treated in community based treatment (Sloan, Smykla & Rush, 2004; Ives et al., 2010). But still much room for improvement.

  9. Methods

  10. Juvenile Treatment Drug Court (JTDC) Sites & Data Cohort of 16 CSAT grantee sites using the GAIN in Box Elder, MT; Buffalo, NY; Laredo, TX; San Antonio, TX (2); San Rafael, CA;Belmont, CA; Tarzana, CA; Pontiac, MI; San Jose, CA; Austin, TX; Peabody, MA; Providence, RI; Detroit, MI; Philadelphia, PA, & Viera, FL. Intake data collected on1,934 adolescents from these sites between January 2006 through November 2011 Analysis on 1,351 (79% of 1712 due) adolescents with 1+ follow-up at 3, 6, and 12-months post intake.

  11. Reclaiming Futures JTDC (RF-JTDC) Sites & Data Cohort of 10 grantee CSAT and/or OJJDP sites using the GAIN in Cherokee Nation, OK; Denver, CO; Greene County,MO; Hardin County, OH; Hocking County, OH; Nassau County, NY; & Seattle, WA; Snohomish County, WA; Travis County, TX; & Ventura County, CA. Intake data cllected on 811 adolescents from these sites between January 2008 through December 2011 Analysis on 556 (89% of 625 due) adolescents with 1+ follow-up at 3, 6, and 12-months post intake.

  15. Reclaiming Futures (RF)“more treatment, better treatment, beyond treatment” RF is a “systems change” approach to improving the access and quality of substance use and mental health services to youth in the juvenile justice systemboth in general and specifically applied to JTDC here. RF was adapted from the system of care frameworks from the children’s mental health movement to be inclusive, continuous, strength- and culturally-based and rely upon both family and community strengths. RF’s goals are to stimulate the development of interdisciplinary professional and community teams to install evidence-based and culturally relevant screening, assessment, appropriate integrated care coordination, treatment and developmentally appropriate recovery support systems following engagement in the justice and treatment systems. RF provides access to a “community of practice fellowships” with other sites around the US to help mentor, coach and collaborate in a mutual development and continuous learningprocess

  16. Reclaiming Futures (RF) - continued“more treatment, better treatment, beyond treatment” • RF sites commit to a process of rigorous system “redesign” in order to increase the • availability and quality of substance and mental health services, • integration of graduated sanctions and incentives, and • positive youth development opportunities during and after treatment and justice system involvement • RF teaches how sites how to use • community engagement to develop innovative partnerships with a wide range of community stakeholders (e.g., businesses, faith communities, civic organizations, and service organizations, schools). • essential youth development activities to decrease stigma and increase a youth’s sense of aspirational possibilities for his/her life • RF thus incorporates and compliments the 16 strategies for JTDC and 10 key components of DC in general, and impacts the whole system

  17. GAIN Training and Data Management All intake and follow-up data collected using the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) (www.gaincc.org/gaini ) The GAIN Coordinating Center (GCC) provided local trainers and several staff from each site with initial 3.5 days of training and participated in a mastery based certification program (Administration certification within 3 months of training; Local Trainer certification within 6 months of training) Local trainers and/or on line training was used to handle staff turnover Interviews were generally staff-administered on computer using PC or web-based software and used to computer generate tentative diagnosis, treatment planning statements and placement recommendations Data cleaned, de-identified and combined GCC staff for analysis Preliminary data analysis reviewed by RF national program, coaches and other cross-site evaluation team members.

  18. Matching with Propensity Score Weights A comparison of 63 intake characteristics found that 26 (41%) differed significantly between JTDC and RF-JTDC. To make a stronger quasi-experimental comparisons of the groups, we controlled for these differences by using them to create propensity score that reflected how similar the people in the JTDC comparison group were to those in the RF-JTDC. After propensity score weighting of the JTDC group, 19 (73%) of the of the original 26 differences were eliminated 6 (23%) were reduced but still statistically significant (having high count of multi-morbidity*, high health problems*, prior mental health treatment*, 1+ year behind in school**, Hispanic**, Caucasian*), and 1 (4%) was slightly enlarged (Expelled or dropped out of school*) *RF-JTDC higher **JTDC higher

  36. Discussion

  37. Reprise • Relative to JTDC, the Reclaiming Futures JTDC provided a matched cohort of youth with more services. • Both groups did well at reducing substance use, crime and emotional problems • Relative to JTDC, the Reclaiming Futures JTDC did better in terms of: • increasing the days of alcohol and drug abstinence (58 vs. 94 days) in the year after intake. • reducing the number of violent crimes (-30% vs. -65%) • the number of crimes overall (-45% vs. -65%), property crimes (-51% vs. -61%), and substance related crimes (- 44% vs. -71%). • Relative to JTDC, the Reclaiming Futures JTDC did worse in terms of • Providing family services (42% vs. 29%) • Reducing emotional problem scale (-18% vs. -21%)

  38. Reprise (continued) • The overall costs of utilizing services related to substance use, mental health, health and juvenile justice nominally decreased for both Reclaiming Futures-JTDC and JTDC ($-3568 vs. $-4334, nsd). • The average annual cost of crime was significantly • reduced for both JTDC ($ -132,359; -50%) and Reclaiming Futures JTDC ($ -216,231; -75%) • lower in the year after intake for youth in Reclaiming Futures JTDC ($132,142 vs. $70,921 per youth). • Reductions in the cost of crime are far greater than the reduction in services that have often been the focus on past economic analyses.

  39. Some Important Limitations This analysis is based on self-reported data. There was data missing due to attrition (11% to 21%), so outcomes had to be estimated based on the average of the observed waves. No formal measures of compliance with 16 strategies No formal cost analyses of JTDC or Reclaiming Futures JTDC were done so cost estimates here are likely to be lower bound estimates. While adjusted for inflation, the costs of service utilization are somewhat dated and should ideally be updated. The cost of crime was based on estimates developed for adults (McCollister et al., 2010) that have been applied here to youth. The cost of service and crime estimates have very large variance and there are also subgroups with changes going in both directions – collecting reducing the power of the statistical tests that could be done.

  40. Next Steps • Running by site to verify and better understand the findings. • Will work to publish these findings • OJJDP has just funded another round of Reclaiming Futures JTDC that will hopefully improve mental health and family services • University of Arizona has just been funded to conduct a more formal evaluation of the RF-JTDC model and how it compares to other JTDC that will include • More formal measures of court operations and the 16 strategies • Include more formal costs estimates • Include more quantitative and qualitative data • Examining health disparities by gender and race

  49. The Cost of Treatment (and unmet need) SBIRT models popular due to ease of implementation and low cost • $750 per night in Medical Detox • $1,115 per night in hospital • $13,000 per week in intensive • care for premature baby • $27,000 per robbery • $67,000 per assault $70,000/year to keep a child in detention $22,000 / year to incarcerate an adult $30,000/ child-year in foster care Source: French et al., 2008; Chandler et al., 2009; Capriccioso, 2004 in 2009 dollars

  50. Return on Investment (ROI) This also means that for every dollar treatment is cut, it costs society more money than was saved within the same year. Substance abuse treatment has been shown to have a ROI within the year of between $1.28 to $7.26 per dollar invested. GAO’s recent review of 11 drug court studies found that the net benefit ranged from positive $47,852 to negative $7,108 per participant. Best estimates are that Treatment Drug Courts have an average ROI of $2.14 to $3.69 per dollar invested when considering only service costs.
