This TIP, Matching Treatment to Patient Needs in Opioid Substitution Therapy, offers guidelines to providers who are working to deliver the best treatment possible to opiate-addicted persons. Patients in this population often need a broad range of services in addition to opioid substitution therapy, and research has shown that providing these services as part of the therapy program greatly increases retention in treatment and improves outcomes. The TIP provides a model for matching patients to services that takes into account the changing needs of patients at different phases of treatment. The TIP outlines a comprehensive assessment process for identifying patient needs and describes core treatment elements for addressing those needs. Because evaluation and self-monitoring are important ways to ensure that programs stay responsive to patient needs, the TIP presents step-by-step guidelines to assist programs in designing and implementing evaluation studies.
