An Outcome Study Guidebook Does chemical dependency treatment work? It's a question asked by policymakers, insurers, patients, and clinicians alike.

Measuring Treatment Progress offers a step-by-step guide for treatment providers interested in designing and conducting outcome studies for their programs. Developed by a prominent national researcher from the Hazelden Foundation, which pioneered chemical dependency treatment programs, the guide features an overview of the latest research in the field, a host of ready-to-use resources, and tips for presenting study results.
