The Omni Association of Addiction Professionals Annual Event is OAA's premiere meetup for licensed social workers and mental health counselors leaders in the community. Founded in 2008, The OAA Forum combines hands-on workshops, inspirational keynotes, and networking opportunities in a unique 2 day event every Fall.
The purpose of the addiction Outcomes Toolkit is to close the research gap with standardized treatment data, tools, and therapy processes, and to demonstrate the long-term impact of Substance Use Disorder services across providers. Through widespread use, we believe the Outcomes Toolkit will lead to common data collected across providers on participants, services, and outcomes that will support additional research, improve understanding of effective practices, and increase the ability to promote the value of treatment provider services.
The treatment Outcomes Toolkit is grounded by the process and data from the pilot program. That information is contained in a second document, the Addiction Treatment Providers Outcomes Pilot Program Final Report, which you will find in this issue following the Toolkit. The data analysis represented in the Final Report demonstrates the protocols of the study and informs the Toolkit best practices.
