abstract="Aftercare interventions that utilize social support strategies hold promise for increasing the posttreatment success of youths placed in residential or institutional treatment facilities. This review evaluates programs in which social support strategies are used to facilitate the community adaptation of troubled adolescents. The evidence shows that the development of supportive relationships and prosocial networks in a youth's community, school, and workplace and among parents and family members is important to success in community reentry. The final section outlines research necessary to advance the development and application of aftercare interventions for institutionalized adolescents returning to the community.<p />",
