drug and alcohol treatment research

research

goodtreatment contributes to a clear evidence base so providers can access the best and latest in substance misuse research. In this way, services can improve their knowledge of

	what their service users need
	which interventions are the most effective
	where to position themselves for maximum impact in the treatment landscape

goodtreatment is happy to recommend or share pertinent databases and research articles to those with an interest in how services can develop in responding to the needs of drug and alcohol misusers. Please email us with particular research enquiries.

In addition, we undertake specific research projects to cover gaps in the existing knowledge base. Such projects can combine quantitative and qualitative data, consulting directly with target populations, or take the form of meta analyses, which pull together strands of evidence from a variety of existing sources into a coherent report.

Examples of both approaches can be viewed via the links below.
