Assignment1: Evidence-Based Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Programs
For a treatment program approach to be classified as evidence-based it must include strong theoretical foundations. It must also provide sound empirical evidence of effectiveness. National registries serve as central clearinghouses to keep addiction professionals informed of available evidence-based programs.
For this Assignment you evaluate evidence-based programs and non-evidence-based programs. In addition you analyze their strengths and limitations in supporting recovery. Use the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/NREPP website or other reputable sources.
In a 2 APA-formatted paper address the following:
o Select and describe one evidence-based substance abuse treatment and one prevention program from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/NREPP website. Explain how you would apply this intervention to a population you plan on working with as an addiction professional.
o Explain the strengths and limitations of each program.
o Explain any insights you gained from evaluating these treatment programs.
