The availability of empirically supported clinical practices and interventions for treating substance use disorders continues to increase as research moves from tightly controlled studies in the laboratory to community treatment settings. While validated approaches grow in number, it remains difficult for addiction professionals and policy makers to stay informed about the variety of practices with proven efficacy for different client populations and drug problems.
The EBP Substance Abuse Database is one tool to help treatment providers make informed decisions about which science-based practices are most appropriate in which circumstances and for which individuals.
