Welcome >

Welcome to the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Web site.  

This site provides resources and information to States, local governments, and community- and faith-based organizations addressing treatment gaps for adolescents in need, reducing the health and social costs to the public that result from substance abuse.

Each year, millions of youth aged 12 to 17 need alcohol and illicit drug treatment. CSAT provides funding to organizations focused on strengthening treatment for youth affected by substance abuse—with an emphasis on minority adolescents.

This Web site does not provide substance abuse treatment or offer self-assessment tools. Visitors seeking these services should visit the Get Help for Substance Abuse Problems area of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Web site.
