The manual describing the EMPACT-SPC Teen Substance Abuse Treatment (TSAT) Program is for use by clinicians, administrators, evaluators, and other treatment providers in the communities to provide treatment for adolescents with co-occurring mental illness and substance-related disorders.

The step-down model begins with an average of 15 hour per week of counseling and decreases to an average of 11 hours of counseling per week, depending on the client and family needs.
