Reclaiming Futures Issues Series of National Fellowship Reports
Helping youth caught in the cycle of drugs, alcohol and crime.
Published: July 11, 2008
Better collaboration between the juvenile justice system and alcohol and drug treatment providers can increase the number of alcohol- and drug-involved teens who receive treatment—and improve their school performance, their family relationships, and their positive connections to the communities in which they live.
Reclaiming Futures is a comprehensive approach to helping youth caught in the cycle of drugs, alcohol and crime. An initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Reclaiming Futures promotes new opportunities and standards of care in juvenile justice by bringing communities together to improve drug and alcohol treatment, expand and coordinate services, and find jobs and volunteer work for young people in trouble with the law.
To share the lessons learned in implementing the Reclaiming Futures model across 10 pilot sites, the program has issued a series of National Fellowship Reports.
