Theoretical Basis of FSN

• Components recommended by panel of experts on
  comprehensive adolescent substance abuse
  Treatment (CSAT, 1993)
• Evidence that family support interventions
  improve treatment outcomes (Barrett et al., 1988
  Brown et al., 1994
• Support for parent education approaches with at-
  risk adolescents (Paterson, 1986)
• Improved retention of adolescents in treatment
  when family is included (Henggeler, 1991 Liddle
  et al., in press)

Assumptions of FSN

• Retention in treatment outcome will be improved
  if families participate in treatment.
• Substance abuse is multi-determined family
  relationships are the most influential
  developmental context, so most potent target of
  intervention.
• Multi-component interventions that simultaneously
  target multiple risk factors will have the
  greatest chance of success.
• FSN is a cost-effective way to package key
  elements of family systems approaches (parent
  education, family support, improved
  communication).
