The RSAP program is a 5-year demonstration project in Westchester County, New York, that has dramatically reduced
substance use among institutionalized adolescents at risk. RSAP is adapted from the county's highly successful
Student Assistance Program, similar to the Employee Assistance Programs effectively used by industry to identify and
aid employees whose jobs and lives have been harmed by substance abuse. RSAP is uniquely designed to address the
needs of seriously troubled 14-17-year-olds.
The program can be implemented in any residential facility for
adolescents. Student Assistance Services Corporation (SAS Corp.), a
community-based prevention agency, administers and supervises the
program in partnership with each of the facilities. SAS Corp. provides
clinical and programmatic supervision to assure that the program is
implemented as designed. The model has several administrative and
clinical strategy components.
