Objective: To identify differential treatment profiles between genders among adolescent substance abusers and make treatment recommendations based on those profiles, if identified. Method: The sample included 137 adolescents in a residential treatment facility. Psychosocial problems and problem behaviors were examined using a cluster analysis of 23 variables. When differential profiles were identified, the literature was reviewed for treatment implications. Results: Important implications for treatment based on the profiles were identified and discussed. Conclusions: The current study suggests that treatment for adolescent substance abusers should have different characteristics for each gender. The findings have important implications for micro, policy, and research practitioners.
