NREPP is a searchable database listing substance and mental health treatment and prevention interventions found to be effective by independent expert scientific review. An external evaluation of one of the Phoenix Academies assessed adolescents' background, substance use, physical health, risk behaviors, mental health, environment, legal, and vocational needs using GAIN (Global Appraisal of Individual Needs), a validated assessment and treatment monitoring tool.

In 2005, the Phoenix Academy program had also been deemed an effective model by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and included in their Model Programs Guide.
