Description
Brief Interventions and Brief Therapies for Substance AbuseU.S. Department of Health and Human ServicesSubstance Abuse and Mental Health Services AdministrationTreatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) SeriesThe Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) series fulfills the Substance Abuse andMental Health Services Administrations (SAMHSAs) mission to improve prevention andtreatment of substance use and mental disorders by providing best practices guidance to clinicians, program administrators, and payers. TIPs are the result of careful consideration of all relevant clinical and health services research findings, demonstration experience, and implementation requirements. A panel of non-Federal clinical researchers, clinicians, program administrators, and patient advocates debates and discusses their particular area of expertise until they reach a consensus on best practices. This panel's work is then reviewed and critiqued by field reviewers. The talent, dedication, and hard work that TIPs panelists and reviewers bring to this highly participatory process have helped bridge the gap between the promise of research and the needs of practicing clinicians and administrators to serve, in the most scientifically sound and effective ways, people in need of behavioral health services. We are grateful to all who have joined with us to contribute to advances in the behavioral health field.
