First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a therapy called RRFT, which treats both substance use and PTSD together, works better than standard separate treatments for teens aged 13-18. About 212 teens with trauma history and both conditions will be randomly assigned to RRFT or usual care. Researchers will track substance use and PTSD symptoms over 12 months to see if the combined approach leads to better long-term results.
