SAMHSA Issues Group Therapy Guide for Substance Use Disorders Treatment SAMHSA press release - "The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) today unveiled a comprehensive guide on the use of group therapy in the treatment of substance use disorders. The consensus panel that created 'Substance Abuse Treatment: Group Therapy' emphasized that group therapy is effective treatment and is a cost effective way to deliver treatment. The guide, Treatment Improvement Protocol #41 in SAMHSA’s Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) series, is designed to aid substance abuse counselors who employ group therapy in the treatment of substance use disorders..." Despite what the press release says, the publication is not yet available at NCADI's TIP publications order form, but readers may want to save the link and check back. Please note, however, that TIP #42, Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons With Co-Occurring Disorders (Adobe Acrobat format), announced last month, is now available online.
