What does the ADETS student need to be taught in order for them to achieve the student goal? It is a developmental process that consists of five specific content areas:

· "Setting the Table" - Program awareness.
· "Just the Facts" - Teaching facts about mood altering substances.
· "Student Assessment" - Assimilation of the facts to personal experience.
· "Student Decision" - Development of a personal usage/life plan.
· "Clearing the Table" - Life after the ADETS program.
