Summary

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the new, Navigating my Journey program for adolescents receiving treatment in an outpatient substance abuse center. The primary hypotheses are that, relative to the control condition, Navigating my Journey will be associated with significantly higher motivation, higher self-efficacy, improved relapse coping skills, and lower substance use. The secondary hypotheses are that, relative to the control condition, Navigating my Journey will be associated with increased therapeutic alliances with counselors.
