Description
The substance abuse field has identified a range of evidence-based substance abuse treatment approaches. Evidence-based approaches are those that have been shown, through carefully controlled and replicated research, to be efficacious or effective. These approaches have been articulated in National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 2000b) publications and on the NIDA Web site. Research literature, newsletters, and editorials aimed at providers of substance abuse treatment services have also articulated evidence-based approaches. Organizations serving large populations of substance-abusing clients need to be aware of evidence-based practices and use them when developing client service plans. One of the largest social services systems working with substance-abusing clients is the child welfare system. Child welfare agencies have become knowledgeable about substance abuse treatment, but relatively little is known about the extent to which child welfare practice remains current with advances in substance abuse practice.
