Dear Reader,

In case you missed it, in the Recovery Research Institute July  2015 Newsletter we highlighted the importance of recovery high schools in an informative Q&A with Dr. Sigurd Zielke, clinical specialist at Hope Academy -- one of 30+ recovery high schools in the United States. We continued our focus on adolescents in recovery with articles about neurobiological processes in adolescent recovery and a contingency management intervention with parent participation. Lastly, we explored the policy implications of a pay-per-performance model for substance use treatment. Click below to read more!

1. Q&A with Dr. Sigurd Zielke of Hope Academy
2. What neurobiological processes predict adolescent recovery? 
3. Can contingency management with parent participation add further benefit to gold standard treatment for adolescents?
4. Does it "pay" to reimburse providers based on patient outcomes?

Best wishes,

John F. Kelly
