ABSTRACT Communities have a wide range of resources that can contribute substantially to the quality of residential treatment. This paper describes: (1) ways in which such resources can be incorporated into the treatment process; (2) the use of specific programs such as public schools, churches and synagogues, vocational training workshops, jobs, and recreational activities; and (3) the types of contributions such programs can make to helping adolescents negotiate the transition from residential treatment into the community.
