“…For example, nurses with higher outcome expectations toward a smoking cessation intervention spent more time counseling their patients about quitting than nurses with lower expectations (Borrelli et al, 2001). Similarly, Obert et al (2005) conducted a study in which a manualized treatment was introduced into a community treatment setting, and found that getting buy-in from personnel at all levels of the organization is critical before attempting to implement new substance abuse treatment practices.…”

To better understand the extent that empirically supported and promising substance abuse treatment approaches are implemented in community settings, treatment providers were surveyed regarding their perceptions and use of several psychosocial and pharmacological treatment interventions. Program directors (n=30) and staff members (n=331) from diverse community settings rated the effectiveness and extent of use of various treatment interventions, and provided information on program and workforce characteristics via self-administered questionnaires. On average, program directors and staff rated the psychosocial treatment interventions as effective, with the exception of vouchers/motivational incentives. About half of the treatment providers did not know the effectiveness of certain pharmacological treatments, including buprenorphine and naltrexone. Respondents from the majority of programs (55%-80%) reported using Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Community Reinforcement Approach, and Supportive Expressive Psychotherapy. The extent that programs used several of the treatment interventions was related to organizational training and information resources. The study findings provide important information regarding training and research dissemination efforts.

“…The present study provides a window into the nature of ASI implementation in community agencies that have minimal resources and exposure to research. The findings illustrate the importance of practicality, flexibility, and ongoing training for the successful implementation of evidence-based practices (Brown, 2004;Obert et al, 2005).…”

“…For this reason, worker buy-in was extremely important and determined whether the interventions were conducted and whether they were conducted properly (Obert et al, 2005). Worker buy-in and utilization tended to be related to organizational culture and workers’ task complexity.…”

Objective The aim of this study is better understand perceptions of front-line social service workers who are not addiction specialists, but have to address addiction-related issues during their standard services. Method Six social service organizations implemented a validated alcohol assessment and brief education intervention. After a 3-month trial implementation period, a convenience sample of 64 front-line providers participated in six focus groups to examine barriers and facilitators to the implementation of an alcohol screening and brief intervention. Results Three themes emerged: (1) usefulness of the intervention, (2) intervention being an appropriate fit with the agency and client population, and (3) worker commitment and proper utilization during the implementation process. Conclusions A cross-cutting theme that emerged was the context in which the intervention was implemented, as this was central to each of the three primary themes identified from the focus groups (i.e., the usefulness and appropriateness of the intervention and the implementation process overall). Practitioner buy-in concerns also indicate the need for better addiction service training opportunities for those without addiction-specific educational backgrounds. Future research should assess whether targeted trainings increase addiction screening and education in social services settings.
