对五种门诊青少年治疗方法（共12个站点）进行了经济评价。12个地点特定治疗条件中每一个的经济成本由药物滥用治疗成本分析程序（DATCAP）确定。通过首先将一系列治疗结果货币化，然后分析从基线到12个月随访的这些货币化结果的大小来估计治疗的经济效益。平均经济成本从每周90美元到313美元不等，每集从839美元到3，279美元不等。相对于摄入前的季度，在12个地点的治疗条件下，未来12个月的平均季度社会成本（包括治疗成本）在4个地点显着下降，6个条件保持不变，2个治疗条件增加（均在同一地点）。这些结果表明，对青少年进行某些类型的药物滥用干预可以在治疗后立即降低社会成本。
An economic evaluation of five outpatient adolescent treatment approaches (12 total site-by-conditions) was conducted. The economic cost of each of the 12 site-specific treatment conditions was determined by the Drug Abuse Treatment Cost Analysis Program (DATCAP). Economic benefits of treatment were estimated by first monetizing a-series of treatment outcomes and then analyzing the magnitude of these monetized outcomes from baseline through the 12-month follow-up. The average economic costs ranged from $90 to $313 per week and from $839 to $3,279 per episode. Relative to the quarter before intake, the average quarterly cost to society for the next 12 months (including treatment costs) significantly declined in 4 of the 12 site-by-treatment conditions, remained unchanged in 6 conditions, and increased in 2 treatment conditions (both in the same site). These results suggest that some types of substance-abuse intervention for adolescents can reduce social costs immediately after treatment.
