Since evidence-based practice is gaining recognition as a success factor in both community corrections and substance abuse treatment systems, a merger of the two seems logical and desirable. The creation of a seamless system of care is needed to address all desired outcomes. But integrating evidence-based addiction treatment and community corrections is no small feat--costs, personnel decisions, identification of effective and appropriate interventions and practices, interorganizational processes, and common goals and mission are critical considerations to advance implementation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing the first model of implementation strategies linking these fields, \u003ci\u003eImplementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment \u003c\/i\u003esets out criteria for identifying evidence-based practices and programs and proposes new strategies to advance the uptake of these practices in real world settings. The book's detailed blueprint is based on extensive theory and research into organizational factors (e.g., management buy-in, staff development, intervention features) and external forces (e.g., funding, resources, stakeholder commitment) with the most impact on the adoption and sustainability of evidence-based practices. Implementation issues range from skill building to quality control. With this knowledge, organizations can set realistic, attainable goals and achieve safety and treatment outcomes that reflect the evidence base. The goal is to provide evidence-based implementation frameworks and strategies to ensure that findings from research studies can be replicated in real world operational agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermining evidence for \"what works\" and the issues surrounding transportability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganization change and technology transfer: theory and literature review.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe current state of addiction treatment and community corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique challenges of evidence-based addiction treatment in community supervision settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessing suitability of evidence-based practice in real-world settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo conceptual models: one to assess the transportability of evidence into operational settings and one to implement evidence-based treatment in community corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eImplementing Evidence-Based Practices in Community Corrections and Addiction Treatment \u003c\/i\u003eis a breakthrough volume for graduate- and postgraduate-level researchers in public health and criminology, as well as policymakers, program managers, and researchers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274328498327,"sku":"9781461404118","price":7267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461404118.webp?v=1769279604","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/implementing-evidence-based-practices-in-community-corrections-and-addiction-treatment-9781461404118","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
