Purpose
The purpose of this study is test a new counseling intervention for adolescent substance abuse. The study is comparing two forms of treatment. The first is a counseling style called Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) and the second is called Enhanced Standard Care (ESC). We hypothesize that MET will be more effective than ESC in reducing substance use in adolescents.
