CSAT "TIPS"

The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment had formally endorsed acupuncture by developing a TIP (Treatment Improvement Protocol) - "Guidelines for Acupuncture Incorporation into Addiction Treatment Programs." The TIP was in field review and slated for publication in the Fall of 2005 and - in the absence of strong advocacy for the effort - was subsequently discontinued..

  CSAT Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) are prepared by the Quality Assurance and evaluation Branch to facilitate the transfer of state-of-the-art protocols and guidelines for the treatment of alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse from acknowledged clinical, research, and administrative experts to the Nation's AOD abuse treatment resources.

Once a topic has been selected, CSAT creates a Federal resource panel, with members from pertinent Federal agencies and national organizations, to review the state of the art in treatment and program management in the area selected. Once their recommendations and responses have been reviewed, the Chair approves the document for publication.
The result is a TIP reflecting the actual state of the art of AOD abuse treatment used in public and private programs recognized for their provision of high quality and innovative treatment.

TIPS have been prepared on a variety of topics including:

  • Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons With HIV/AIDS
  • Substance Abuse Treatment Responding to Child Abuse and Neglect Issues
  • Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Abuse Treatment
  • Brief Interventions And Brief Therapies for Substance Abuse Treatment
  • Treatment for Stimulant Use Disorders
  • Treatment of Adolescents With Substance Use Disorders
  • Comprehensive Case Management for Substance Abuse Treatment
    Substance Abuse Among Older Adults

TIPs may be ordered by contacting the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) 800-729-6686 or (301) 468-2600; TDD (for hearing impaired), (800) 487-4889.
