Effectiveness Bank Matrix Cell: Managing Transformation

Key studies on the role of management and supervision in the treatment of problem drug use. Commentary asks, “Is there anything more instructive than *being* the patient?”, explores the role of patient choice and preferences in treatment planning, and queries the ubiquitous stages of change model as a basis for determining the treatment offer. Compared to interventions, research on these issues is scarce, but it is at this level that services can be transformed from ‘going through the motions’ into engaging recovery-promoters.
