Written for substance abuse treatment administrators, managers, and supervisors, TAP 31 suggests practical and efficient approaches for introducing and implementing EBPs.
 
It includes:

• steps for assessing an organization's readiness to adopt new practices,
• identifying priorities in adopting EBPs,
• evaluating progress, and
• sustaining change over time.
