Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) is a treatment alternative to group, residential treatment and/or incarceration for youth who have problems with chronic disruptive behavior.
Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an alternative to out of home placement provided to youth with significant externalizing behaviors, with the primary treatment population being delinquent youth and chronic or violent juvenile offenders.
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is an intensive, short-term family therapy model provided to youth who present with externalizing behaviors ranging from oppositional, defiant, and disruptive behaviors (i.e., at risk for delinquency) to serious, chronic criminal offenses.

On average, sites that close do so around the 3-year mark.
The top reasons for closure:Not enough referrals (low need in
community or other barriers/disincentives to referring)
Financial (related to program census and unique aspects of EBI implementation)

Outcomes Data…

FFTA total of 1,646 youth were discharged from July 2010-Dec.
2011. 1,483 youth who had the opportunity to complete FFT (i.e.,
were not administratively withdrawn): 66% were successfully discharged (completed FFT with positive
outcome). 34% were unsuccessfully discharged. Of these youth, 24% were
placed out-of-home.
Average length of stay: 4.0 months for successful cases 2.9 months for unsuccessful cases

2011.
36 youth had an opportunity to complete MTFC (i.e., were not administratively withdrawn): 58% were successfully discharged (met treatment goals,

42% were unsuccessfully discharged. Of these youth, 80% were placed in a more restrictive setting.
The average length of stay:8.0 months for successful cases3.4 months for unsuccessful cases
Program Outcomes
15
The number of EBI programs and the number of Pennsylvania counties implementing an EBI have grown steadily over the past 7 years.
Across all placement types (Juvenile Justice, C&Y, M.A.-funded) there have been decreases in the numbers and rates of placement.
As a whole, counties implementing EBIs have shown substantial decreases in placement rates while counties without EBIs have shown no change or even increases.
Impact on Placement Rates
16
8 counties that did not have any EBI from 2006-2010 were compared to 11 counties that began the implementation of their first EBI between 2007 and 2009. Placement rates were totaled across the counties in each group. Group 1, Counties without an EBI 2006-2010:
Bedford, Carbon, Franklin, Fulton, Lebanon, Schuylkill, Somerset, and Susquehanna
Group 2, Counties beginning implementation 2007-2009: Allegheny, Berks, Cameron, Clarion, Elk, Forest, Lackawanna, McKean, Monroe, Pike, and Potter
