A seventeen year old girl is arrested for possession. She denies using drugs saying she was given some just before arrested. She is pregnant.

As your treatment center provides education to that precinct your center was called. What course would you advise?

  1. Administer the TWEAK and give the results to the judge to decide.
  2. Administer the TWEAK, interview the adolescence and parents to determine the extent of the drug usage. Recommend appropriate treatment outside of jail if the interview and assessment indicates a beginning drug dependency and one is available that is better.
