Evaluation of RRFT for Co-occurring SUD and PTSD Among Teens

RRFT is an adaptation and integration of existing empirically-supported interventions with similar theoretical rationales targeting similar populations, particularly Multisystemic Therapy principles (MST)for adolescent SUP and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) components for PTSD in youth. RRFT consists of seven primary components: Psychoeducation and Engagement, Coping, Family Communication, Substance Use, PTSD, Healthy Dating and Sexual Decision-Making, and Revictimization Risk Reduction.

Encompass is currently a research to practice treatment for adolescents with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health problems and is used as the standard treatment in the target study settings.
