Multisystemic Therapy (MST) for juveniles with substance use disorder

About This Resource

Multisystemic Therapy – Substance Abuse (MST-SA) is an adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) designed for youth ages 12–17 with substance use issues and their caregivers. MST-SA integrates contingency management, a behavior change model that provides rewards for positive behavior, with the MST approach to provide substance use treatment. MST-SA aims to help youth manage situations that have previously led to substance use, build protective factors such as social skills and family involvement, and increase contact with peers who model positive behaviors.
