Adolescent Substance Abuse Program

ASAP stands for Adolescent Substance Abuse Program. The Adolescent Substance Abuse Program is owned and operated by three psychologists who specialize in the outpatient treatment of adolescent substance abuse: Curtis Walling, Phil Lett, and Mark Rhode. These three psychologists have joined together to build Arizona's finest treatment program for adolescents suffering with substance abuse problems. Some of the sources of excellence at ASAP include the following:

1. Three outpatient treatment facilities provide coverage to the entire Phoenix metropolitan area:

2350 S. Alma School Road in Mesa, serving the East Valley
3839 E. Shea Blvd. in Phoenix, serving Phoenix, the Northeast Valley and Scottsdale
8607 N. 59th Ave #C-6 in Glendale, serving the West Valley

2. The ASAP IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) is 10 weeks in duration. Adolescents attend group therapy three evening sessions per week. Parents are required to attend one of these sessions each week in Multifamily therapy. Random and for-cause urinalysis is conducted to asses adolescents' possible substance use and monitor treatment compliance.

3. A research-based curriculum is utilized as the basis of instruction at each site to guide the education, coping skills training, and emotional healing of substance abusing adolescents. Only proven interventions are accepted as part of the ASAP curriculum. This "best practices" focus is constantly updated to reflect the latest research and clinical evidence regarding "what works" in the treatment of adolescent substance abuse.

4. ASAP is designed for maximum cooperation with referral sources and other treatment facilities. Specialized report forms and reporting mechanisms have been designed to direct necessary clinical information to case managers for ongoing utilization review, making ASAP very "managed care friendly".

5. Close Aftercare follow-up is maintained of all ASAP graduates for one year to monitor progress and problems and make suggestions to the teen and family regarding best use of available resources. Satisfaction Surveys are collected from adolescents and parents at discharge, and follow-up Outcome Studies are conducted at regular intervals following graduation to assess the long-term efficacy of ASAP treatment and suggest improvements.
