Where have we been and where are we going?
Elizabeth Wells Pacific Northwest Node
April 2010
“There are important gaps between the knowledge gained from research, everyday practice in community-based drug abuse treatment programs, and governmental policies about drug abuse treatment at the local, state, and national levels. Much has been learned about drug abuse treatment at each of these levels—research, treatment, and policy. Yet these groups make too little use of one another's knowledge base.”
(Lamb, Greenlick & McCarty, 1998)
“…most CTN nodes have more sites using at least some of the tested interventions, but why are not all sites using almost all “effective” interventions? I am definitely not suggesting these sites should be forced or even incentivized to do those interventions that the CTN has found to be effective. I am asking why more of these interventions are not being used especially among those who have had the most experience, or at least exposure to them?”

Get started at the CTN Dissemination Library:http://ctndisseminationlibrary.org
From a substance abuse counselor in Oregon: “The web information was easy to access and I like the variety in the workshop discussions. . . It was designed with me in mind. If I can do it, anyone can!”
“…most CTN nodes have more sites using at least some of the tested interventions, but why are not all sites using almost all “effective” interventions? I am definitely not suggesting these sites should be forced or even incentivized to do those interventions that the CTN has found to be effective. I am asking why more of these interventions are not being used especially among those who have had the most experience, or at least exposure to them?”
(McLellan, 2010)
“This meets a need our patients have and it provides a more standard way of dealing with it.”
“The patients really liked participating and responded well to the intervention.”
“Data we collected indicated our patients were doing well with this intervention.”
“It was easy to learn, and the counselors liked delivering it.”
“ The format fit within what the state supports.”
“Is the outcome you obtained worth what it will cost me to train counselors and supervise them?”
“Will the extra cost be justified in producing a lasting effect on my clients?”
“We don’t have trained medical personnel available.”
“The State won’t pay us for that.”
“We’re a drug-free, abstinence-based program.”
“We’re just a small program.”
CONTINUE TO…
Foster training nationally and in the nodes
Support development of new Blending Products
Encourage platform studies of technology transfer methods
Assess training needs Provide technical
assistance to CTPs trying to implement EBPs
CONSIDER…
Fostering bidirectional dialogue about what CTN interventions should be adopted
Encouraging ongoing collection of economic evaluations in CTN protocols to inform providers’ decisions
Disseminating economic data broadly to nodes and CTP partners
