The ASAM Criteria, Fourth Edition, Volume 2: Adolescents and Transition-Aged Youth, delivers the first fully standardized, developmentally appropriate criteria for adolescents (18 and under) and transition-aged youth (16-25). Designed for clinicians, systems, communities, and state leaders, this volume fills a critical gap by providing clear, evidence-based, and standardized guidance across the full continuum of youth substance use and co-occurring care.

As part of The ASAM Criteria, Fourth Edition, this new volume has been expanded from one chapter to a complete volume to ensure:

• A developmentally appropriate continuum of care
• Integrated mental health and medical considerations, including fentanyl-related risks
• Expanded focus on prevention, early intervention, and family engagement
• Recommendations for coordination across education, justice, child welfare, and health systems

Key Features
Clinical: Decision rules, dimensional criteria, and assessment guidance
Structural: Clear organization, color-coding, tables, and visual tools
Formats: Print and digital options to support real-world use-coding
