Project Description:
The Village is seeking to extend treatment services for adolescent girls, ages 11-17, who have co-occurring disorders (substance abuse and mental health).

The University of Miami is a collaborator with this project, working with the The Village in the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network.
