  3. Texas Christian University’s Desire for Help Scale • You need help in dealing with your drug use. • It is urgent that you find help immediately for your drug use.  • You are tired of the problems caused by drugs. •  You will give up your friends and hangouts to solve your drug problems.  • You can quit using drugs without any help.  • Your life has gone out of control. • You want to get your life straightened out. • 1 = Disagree Strongly to 5 = Agree Strongly

  4. Self Sufficiency Matrix (Snohomish Self Sufficiency Task Force, 2004; O’Connell et al., 2003) • Considers the “whole person’s" wellness (recovery) capital across the following domains: Housing Basic Needs Transportation Health Insurance Social Physical Health Family Alcohol and other drug use Legal Mental Health Education Employment Life Skills Safety • A Wellness Plan is developed based on SSM results. • Our SSM has been modified to include domains and language relevant to youth. We have also created a family version.

  5. Enrollment from January through September, 2010 • 192 participants enrolled in Y1 • 18.6 (SD = 1.6) years of age • 54% male • 11.3 (SD = 1.3) years of education • 71% screened positive for co-occurring disorders at intake

  6. Enrollment from January through September, 2010 • 76% White • 11% More than 1 race • 6% Black or African American • 2% American Indian • 1% Asian • 1% Native Hawaiian • 3% Latino

  10. Alcohol Use to Intoxication • = clients who entered Spectrum for counseling services • = clients who entered Spectrum for other services

  11. Illegal Drug Use • = clients who entered Spectrum for counseling services • = clients who entered Spectrum for other services

  12. SSM Scores Intake to 6 Month Follow-Ups (n = 67)

  13. Recovery Management Check Ups (RMCs) *Time window to obtain RMC still open.

  14. GAIN Q Scale Scores for RMC clients

  15. Summary: Work in Progress • Regardless of “service door” within Spectrum, 71% of young adults screen positive for co-occurring disorders. • Young adults do not report a strong desire for help although they would like to “straighten their life out.”

  16. Summary: Work in Progress • Rates of young adults using alcohol remain consistent but the number of days to intoxication decreases among clients entering through counseling door. • Rates of illegal drug use decrease overall, which is reflected in the significant decreases of illegal drug use among clients entering through counseling door.

  17. Summary: Work in Progress • Key areas of recovery capital that significantly improve in the first 6 months include transportation, job skills, life skills, family, and alcohol and drug use • Able to connect with over 25% of young adults eligible for RMCs. • The further young adults are from treatment, the greater the regression to baseline.
