With an emphasis on substance use treatment, we partner with a wide variety of organizations nationwide to evaluate client- and organizational-level behavioral health outcomes, implement outcome measurement systems and support implementation fidelity. We also assist with evaluation of behavioral health workforce development programs.
We supported a regional approach to expand drug use treatment capacity through community collaboration, innovation and education. Clients in the program have shown a statistically significant decrease in the number of days they used heroin and other illegal drugs.
Funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, we’re training social work faculty nationwide to teach empirically supported screening assessment and treatment for substance use disorders. This work is increasing faculty knowledge, thereby improving knowledge of evidence-based practices among the social work workforce.
