Nuevo Camino (new path) will enhance and expand a system of care in Pima County, Arizona providing integrated comprehensive treatment, early intervention, and recovery support services for adolescents and transition age youth (TAY) ages 12-21 who are experiencing SUDs and/or co-occurring disorders and their families/primary caregivers with a priority focus on females, Latinx, Native American youth and youth involved with juvenile justice and their families/caregivers. Through a collaboration between Intermountain Centers for Human Development, Community Partners Integrated Healthcare, Community Partnership of Southern Arizona, Pima County Juvenile Court Center and the University of Arizona, Southwest Institute for Research on Women, comprehensive integrated primary care, substance abuse and mental health services will be provided to 450 adolescents and transition age youth with an additional 280 parents and caregivers served with evidenced based services and support. Among Nuevo Camino’s significant goals: 1) Increase capacity to provide comprehensive, family-centered, trauma-information and evidenced-based SUD services to adolescents, TAY and their families/caregivers, including those of historically underserved populations-female, LGBTQ+, Latinx, Native American and juvenile justice involved populations; 2) Improve youth well-being and decrease their substance use by providing comprehensive, family-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based, treatment services to adolescents and TAY (ages 12-21) and their families/caregivers, including underserved populations-female, LGBTQIA+, Latinx, and Native youth; 3) Improve caregiver parenting skills, parenting confidence, and family functioning supportive of early intervention by providing evidence-based family treatment services; and 4) Improve TAY independence and self-sufficiency by providing comprehensive services to TAY. In addition to providing individualized wrap-around services and supports, Nuevo Camino will implement the following cognitive-behavioral constructed Evidence Based Programs: • Motivational Interviewing (MI) • Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), • Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) • Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)
