An understanding of the complex nature of addiction and the multidisciplinary, multi-modal approaches to treatment are essential in searching for science-based literature and other resources. The process of evidence-based decision making is described, including the use of the Cochrane Database to locate systematic reviews, primarily for medical therapies. Pointers for comprehensive searching for evidence-based literature supporting addiction treatments are provided. Practice guidelines are described, along with key sources and samples for both medical and behavioral therapies. Limitations to preparing evidence-based guidelines are discussed, the main one being the lack of standard conditions among treatment trials. Finally, the concept of best practices is described and the types of documents relating to the process, many of which are limited to grey literature, are discussed. |
