There were limited child substance abuse funds dedicated to treating adolescents with substance abuse problems DMHDDSAS & DJJDP identified a need for providing intensive services for youth at risk for penetrating deeply into both the juvenile justice & mental health systems MAJORS is a joint initiative between DMHDDSAS & DJJDP MAJORS is an innovative model of community substance abuse treatment, transitional care & service coordination for adjudicated delinquent youth

    3. MAJORS services are a specialized part of the overall treatment system & are administered by LMEs that monitor services provided at the local level by licensed private providers staffed by certified substance abuse professionals

    4. The goals of MAJORS are two-fold: to blend the control measures of court requirements, juvenile justice supervision, sanctions & community service with adolescent substance abuse interventions to have a measurable impact on relapse & recidivism

    5. The target group for this initiative includes: Adolescents that have been adjudicated delinquent; & Have a substance abuse or dependency DSM diagnosis; & Are either: on probation in their community; or released from a YDC or residential treatment program to their community MAJORS serves as an important community-based adolescent reentry initiative for incarcerated youth
