Summary

The proposed Quality Improvement Initiative study is a health services research project in community-based substance abuse treatment programs. The primary goals are to use training and technology transfer to match services to client needs, increase the number of services received by clients, and improve client outcomes. This is a two phase study in which we compare clients pre-intervention to clients post-intervention.

Clients from Phase II (Post-Intervention) compared to Phase I (Pre-Intervention) will:have treatment plans that better match the problems reported at assessment; receive services that better match their needs, as reported during the assessment/intake; show better results during treatment performance on the Treatment Services Review (TSR), including attending a greater percentage of their scheduled treatment sessions and increased satisfaction with the Treatment Planning process; show better client outcomes at 3 month follow-up on primary drug and alcohol measures, including Breathalyzer and urine drug screen, and secondary personal health and social functioning measures such as days medical problems, days psychiatric problems, days employed, days of conflict with family members, etc.
