Generation 7

"Generation 7 is an adolescent treatment program based on the implementation of Motivational Enhancement Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for substance abusing Native American youth in Oakland, California. The treatment plan interweaves MET/CBT 5 with the holistic approach of the Family & Child Guidance Clinic of the Native American Health Center. The target population consists of Native American youth, ages 12-21, who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have substance abuse or dependence diagnoses, and who are appropriate for outpatient settings."

The project was part of the Effective Adolescent Treatment (EAT) program launched by SAMHSA in 2003 to assist the field in adopting a previously proven effective approach of the CYT initiative. This resulted in a total of 38 programs implementing a practice for which there is evidence of effectiveness.
