The ASAM Criteria, Fourth Edition, Volume 2: Adolescents and Transition-Aged Youth, delivers the first fully standardized, developmentally appropriate criteria for adolescents (17 and under) and transition-aged youth (16-25).

- A developmentally appropriate continuum of care
- Integrated mental health and medical considerations, including fentanyl-related risks
- Expanded focus on prevention, early intervention, and family engagement
- Recommendations for coordination across education, justice, child welfare, and health systems
