Overview

Informed by real-life experiences in addiction including workshops and site visits, this text examines why research in drug treatment remains remote from treatment and makes specific recommendations to community providers, government agencies, and other decision-makers. The book outlines concrete strategies for building and disseminating knowledge about addiction; for linking research, policy development, and everyday treatment implementation; and for helping drug treatment consumers become more informed advocates.
