New TAP on Implementing Change in Substance Abuse Treatment

Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) 31: Implementing Change in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs provides guidance on integrating evidence-based practices (EBPs) into substance abuse treatment programs.

Written for substance abuse treatment administrators, managers, and supervisors, TAP 31 suggests practical and efficient approaches for introducing and implementing EBPs. It includes steps for assessing an organization’s readiness to adopt new practices, identifying priorities in adopting EBPs, evaluating progress, and sustaining change over time. TAP 31 complements the best practices described in SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment's (CSAT's) Treatment Improvement Protocols.
