Research Projects

 

Prevention

Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant - The State of Maine received five years of funding from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in 2004 to create and support a statewide prevention and health promotion infrastructure.

Intervention

Operating Under the Influence Recidivism Study - The Driver Education and Evaluation Program (DEEP) is initiating a study to compare recidivism rates between clients who participate in DEEP education and those who do not participate.

Treatment

Strengthening Treatment Access and Retention / State Implementation - Funded by the federal Center for Substance Abuse Treatment in late 2006, this project will help Maine to identify, implement and evaluate methods to enhance individual access to and retention in community-based outpatient substance abuse treatment programs.

Advancing Recovery - The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation / Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment funded this project in late 2006. The funding will support the identification, implementation, and evaluation of state and service provider level changes aimed at increasing the utilization of evidence-based addiction treatment practices by community-based providers. To improve treatment quality, Maine is focusing its efforts on two particular evidence-based practices: the use of medications for specific diagnosis and the use of case management, wraparound and supportive services.
