Chapin Hall:
Juvenile justice systems do not often provide an effective response to substance abuse problems among young offenders.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation launched Reclaiming Futures, a ten-community demonstration project, to improve substance abuse interventions for justice-involved youth.
The initiative relies on inter-organizational collaboration, shared performance management, enhanced treatment quality, strengthened leadership, and community partnerships to improve systems and services.
Early results from a cross-site evaluation indicate that the initiative has inspired real improvements in the quality of service delivery systems.
