LEGAL SYSTEM INTERVENTIONS

Youth Substance Awareness Safety Program (YSASP)

OVERVIEW

YSASP provides an alternative to the civil court process for youth ages 16 through 20 who violate Vermont’s underage alcohol or marijuana laws. Participants are screened for signs of problem behavior, and when indicated, are referred for an assessment by a certified or licensed substance abuse counselor. They must pay a program fee and complete other activities designed to promote learning and reflection.
