Evidence Based Practices/Promising or Best Practices

37. Given the scope of the CABHI/GBHI/SSH projects, there is a range of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) and promising practices that could be implemented. Some projects may be implementing clinical EBP’s like the Modified Therapeutic Community, Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment, or the Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM). Other programs may be focused on implementing non-clinical EBP’s (including case management, other wraparound, & housing) like Strengths-Based Case Management, Supported Employment, or Permanent Supportive Housing. Some projects are focused on implementing both clinical and non-clinical EBP’s.

We are interested in the implementation of EBPs for your CABHI/GBHI/SSH project for CABHI/GBHI/SSH clients. Please indicate (A) the status of implementation for each EBP proposed for the CABHI/GBHI/SSH project. If the EBP was implemented or is currently being implemented during the grant project, please indicate (B) the percentage of project clients that received the practice in the past 6 months, (C) whether it was provided by the grantee agency or through referral/linkage to another agency and if CABHI/GBHI/SSH funds were used to pay for the practice, and (D) where the practice is provided.

1 Rehabilitation approach: focuses on problems that disturb the client’s ability to function in everyday life and sets concrete goals in treatment planning where services received and goals set are based on client choice. All treatment and services received are integrated and there are no time limits set on access to treatment or services. Client’s strengths and deficiencies are assessed and built upon or strengthened through skills training, respectively. The client works toward building social networks and becoming a part of his or her community thus decreasing reliance on treatment providers. When needed, the client’s environment is modified to maximize success (e.g., moving out of a negative environment).


Strengths-based approach: includes four strengths-based practice approaches: strengths case management, solution-focused therapy, individual placement and support model of supported employment, and the asset building model of community development. These practice approaches all have the following characteristics: goal-oriented, systematic assessment of strengths, client’s environment is seen as rich in resources, use of explicit methods for using client and environmental strengths for goal attainment, provider-client relationship is hope-inducing, and clients have the authority to choose and are provided with meaningful choices.


Prescriptive approach: based on the idea that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ treatment model. Clients bring with them different personal characteristics and varying degrees of severity in regard to addiction or mental illness. This needs to be taken into account during treatment planning and used to find the best practices for that particular client. Clients are assessed on certain domains (e.g., functional impairment, coping style, resistance traits, etc) and these measurements are matched to the appropriate treatment methods needed. Once treatment needs are assessed, the most suitable treatment methods are chosen, tailoring the treatment planning to each client.

Confrontation approach: confrontation techniques that focus on behaviors relevant to recovery only, not behavior in general, and how continuation of addictive behaviors can have negative consequences for the client. Confrontation can come from many different sources, not just treatment staff, including family/friends, the workplace, peers in treatment, criminal justice professionals, etc. The following elements have been identified for use in effective confrontation therapy: a focus on behaviors or thinking clearly related to substance misuse, implementation of confrontation within the context of a trusting relationship, consideration of the nature of the treatment setting and characteristics of the client, and avoidance of extreme expression of emotion that can detract from the content of the confrontation.

Continuum of Care (CoC): a community level service delivery model that incorporates a wide range of services for individuals who are homeless or at risk for homelessness. It is based on the idea that providing temporary shelter is not enough to eliminate homelessness; it is necessary to also focus on prevention, outreach, assessment, and assisting people every step of the way from immediate emergency shelter to permanent affordable housing. Another important tenet of CoC is that the homeless also require assistance in receiving supportive services in other areas like substance abuse, mental health, and employment. This is often a multi-agency system within the community that coordinates to provide all of these services to the homeless. Clients receive housing services in a step-wise fashion, beginning with emergency shelter to transitional housing to permanent supportive housing to permanent affordable housing having to complete each step successfully before moving on to the next. As defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, CoC’s contain the following seven components: prevention, outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, permanent affordable housing, and supportive services.


2 A safe haven is a form of supportive housing that serves hard-to-reach homeless persons with severe mental illness who are on the street and have been unable or unwilling to participate in supportive services. Characteristics of safe havens include: 1) 24-hour residence for eligible persons who may reside for an unspecified duration; 2) private or semiprivate accommodations; 3) overnight occupancy limited to 25 persons; 4) low-demand services and referrals; and 5) supportive services to eligible persons who are not residents on a drop-in basis (Title IV, Subtitle D of the McKinney Act, 1992 from Safe Havens Toolkit, undated, retrieve from http://www.hudhre.info/documents/SafeHavens.pdf, p.3).
