Annual outcomes study out from NAATP

FoRSE, the research foundation of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP), will release its annual summary report at this week's annual meeting, which ADAW will cover in person. The report provides NAATP members, as well as the public, with descriptive and graphic reports of the impact of addiction treatment. This will give them insight into how effective their programs are, compared to others across the country. The 42 page report, a copy of which was obtained by ADAW , is stunning in terms of content and presentation. The report is free. The focus is on outcomes. For anyone who has ever been asked “Does treatment work?” or “Does your treatment program work?” this report is invaluable. It breaks down the answers and includes the how and why. We asked Annie Peters, Ph.D., NAATP's director of research and education, for the top takeaways from the report. Her response.
