After Initial Treatment…
Relapse is common, particularly for those who: – Are Younger– Have already been to treatment multiple times – Have more mental health issues or pain
It takes an average of 3 to 4 treatment admissions over 9 years before half reach a year of abstinence
Yet over 2/3rds do eventually abstain
Treatment predicts who starts abstinence
Self help engagement predicts who stays abstinent

Investing in Treatment has a Positive Annual Return on Investment (ROI)
Substance abuse treatment has been shown to have a ROI of between $1.28 to $7.26 per dollar invested
Even year long treatment drug courts have an average ROI of $2.14 to $2.71 per dollar invested
Source: Bhati et al., (2008); Ettner et al., (2006)
This also means that for every dollar treatment is cut, we lose more money than we saved.
Washington Youth Served by Treatment & SAP are already costing society
Using the GAIN we are able estimate the cost to society of tangible services (e.g., health care utilization, days in detention, probation, parole, days of missed school) in 2009 dollars for the 90 days before intake
The 258 adolescents served by ESD113 in the 2008-9 school year…
– cost society $229,830 ($919.322 per year)– an average of $891 per adolescent ($3,663 per year)
The 2,733 adolescents served in King County between 2005-2009…
– cost society $4,609,580 ($18.438,321 per year)– an average of $1,687 per adolescent ($6,747 per year)
Thus both are targeting groups with a high potential to offset their costs to society (or cost you more if you cut back on them)

Over 90% self report

Over half report 5 or more major
clinical problems
So what does it mean to move the field towards Evidence Based Practice (EBP)?
Introducing explicit intervention protocols that are– Targeted at specific problems/subgroups and outcomes– Having explicit quality assurance procedures to cause adherence
at the individual level and implementation at the program level
Having the ability to evaluate performance and outcomes – For the same program over time, – Relative to other interventions
Introducing reliable and valid assessment that can be used – At the individual level to immediately guide clinical judgments
about diagnosis/severity, placement, treatment planning, and the response to treatment
– At the program level to drive program evaluation, needs assessment, performance monitoring and long term program planning
Major Predictors of Bigger Effects
1. Chose a strong intervention protocol based on prior evidence
2. Used quality assurance to ensure protocol adherence and project implementation

Why Do We Care About Unmet Need?
If we subset to those in need, getting mental health services predicts reduced mental health problems
Both psychosocial and medication interventions are associated with reduced problems
If we subset to those NOT in need, getting mental health services does NOT predict change in mental health problems
Conversely, we also care about services being poorly targeted to those in need.
