Today, most substance abuse treatment is administered by community-based organizations. If providers could readily incorporate the most recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of addiction and treatment, the treatment would be much more effective and efficient.

Informed by real-life experiences in addiction treatment including workshops and site visits, "Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Research" examines why research remains remote from treatment and makes specific recommendations to community providers, federal and state agencies, and other decisionmakers. The book outlines... [Read More]

Every day, huge numbers of people use drugs or alcohol for recreation, medication, celebration, stress management, social lubrication, or escape.

Few non-specialists feel completely competent and willing to grapple closely with the issues these clients present, in spite of the fact that such problems are... [Read More]

Praise for the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series"A major stumbling block to the adoption of evidence-based practice in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of clinician-friendly guides suitable for learning specific empirically supported treatments.

Rubin and Springer have hit a home run with the Clinician's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice Series, which has all of these characteristics and more."—Edward J.
