"Improving Substance Abuse Treatment: An Introduction to the Evidence-Based Practice Movement is a practical guide that takes the complex issues of the evidence-based practice (EBP) movement sweeping the substance abuse treatment field and translates those issues into a format that is easy to read and comprehend. This is the first book that reviews the growing literature on this movement and makes practical recommendations on how to evaluate and implement evidence-based practices." "This is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying substance abuse treatment in counseling, psychology, social work, and public health. It is an important reference for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who wish to better understand how to implement evidence-based practices in the field."--Jacket.
