Abstract
There is a need for a cost-conscious effective substance abuse program for use in an alternative high school substance abuse class. The writer chose the following four curriculums listed on the National Registry of Evidence Proven Practices and evaluated research and available program information in consideration for implementation in the desired setting: Life Skills Training, Multisystemic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Project SUCCESS . Efficacy in regards to use in the desired setting is largely not proven, but the programs evaluated were promising for possible implementation, or for use in the creation of a new curriculum.
