This Manual's Purpose

The sponsors and the authors of this manual believe in improving the care that people with mental and addictive disorders receive, and we share a belief in the promise of evidence-based practices. But we also know the limitations and realities of translating scientific research findings into the real world of service delivery. So this manual has been developed in large measure to provide a practical approach to moving the field forward. It is written with specific audiences in mind, clinicians and administrators in provider organizations and their chief partners - primary consumers and family members.

We have tried to build on past experience and also to anticipate common concerns or questions about adopting and implementing evidence-based practices.

The reader will find the materials organized around a series of questions:

What are evidence-based practices and why should we use them? (Chapter One)

How does the movement toward evidence-based practice fit with concepts of recovery, resilience and cultural competence? (Chapter Two)

What do the terms used to describe various approaches really mean? (Chapter Three)

What are some examples of evidence-based practices? (Chapter Four)

How does a program choose an evidence-based practice to implement, and what is involved in implementing it? (Chapter Five)

How can we help practitioners change their practice to an evidence-based approach? (Chapter Six)

Are there organizational or structural issues that can impact the success of implementing evidence-based practices? (Chapter Seven)

Assuming we get this started, how can we sustain the progress we are making? (Chapter Eight)
