Abstract
ABSTRACT Outcome research on residential treatment indicates that, although adolescents often improve in residential treatment, those gains are frequently lost when they return to the community. This paper examines reasons for these findings and highlights two shortcomings of many residential programs that contribute to the problem: limitations on family participation in treatment and lack of opportunities for involvement in the community. Consideration is given to ways in which the need to develop short-term residential treatment programs can provide an impetus to addressing the problem.
