BAAP, дәлелдемелерге негізделген тәжірибені жандандыру

Өткен күні мен әріптесіммен есірткіге деген сұранысты азайтуға (ДДР) бұрынғы есірткі тұтынушыларды тарту туралы әңгімелесу жүргіздім. Менің ұсынысым бойынша, мұндай тәжірибе, тіпті көп кешікпей жасалса да, ешқандай зерттеу мұндай тәжірибенің табысты болғанын растамағандықтан дәлел болып табылмайды. DDR үшін жұмыс істейтін бағдарлама интерактивті әдістерді қолданатын, апта сайын құрылымдалған сеанстары бар және даярланған кәсіби және/немесе құрдастары жеткізетін бағдарлама болып табылады!
