Advancing Recovery Celebrates National Learning Session

The Advancing Recovery (AR) study celebrated a pinnacle event January 14 and 15, 2010 in Washington, D.C. with the program's final national learning session. This five-year, $17 million dollar study was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, with NIATx and the Treatment Research Institute (TRI) collaborating as the AR national program office.
Two sets of AR grantees in 12 states worked to promote the introduction of evidence-based practices in addiction treatment. Secondary goals included measuring the effects that implementation of these system-wide evidence-based practices have on regulatory, financial, and inter-/intra-organizational processes on a statewide level (i.e., "whole systems change").
States participating in the study include: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Rhode Island, Texas, West Virginia.
