Assignment: 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.
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 website or other reputable sources.
In a 600-word APA-formatted paper, address the following:
- Select and describe one evidence-based substance abuse treatment and one prevention program from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website.
- Explain how you would apply this intervention to a population you plan on working with as an addiction professional.
- Explain the strengths and limitations of each program.
- Explain any insights you gained from evaluating these treatment programs.

Week 10: Research and Evidence-Based Treatment
Imagine making complex decisions about treating a variety of addiction issues, such as food addiction, sex addiction, and cocaine addiction. Add to that the problems that often lead to addiction, such as depression, childhood abuse, and mental illness, and you can understand why treatment decisions can be challenging. How do you know what treatment program to use with a client? How can you know whether a treatment will be effective? What do other helping professionals say about treatment options?
Helping professionals make treatment decisions every day. Those decisions are sometimes based on experience and anecdotal evidence, but often they are based on scientific evidence gathered from observation and research.
