This report describes a sample of adolescent clients who received treatment and/or assessment services funded by the Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (DASA) in early 1990. The report analyzes client characteristics by treatment modality, stage of treatment, severity of alcohol/drug use, degree of involvement with the courts, and geographic residence. In addition, results from a widely used drug and alcohol assessment tool, the Personal Experience Inventory (PEI), are discussed. Data were collected from agency case records and interviews with drug and alcohol counselors. The sample consisted of 590 clients, from 43 agencies, assessed for treatment between January and May 1990.
