This collection of tools and resources is for providers, staff, and patients who offer or use services to address substance use, and other interested stakeholders. This collection was originally established following an environmental scan on implementing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural primary care. (See PDFs of Volume 1 (PDF - 609 KB) and Volume 2 (PDF - 1.3 MB) of that scan). Items have been continuously added to this collection since then, and the collection has expanded to cover substance use more broadly, rather than just MAT for OUD.
Screens for drug and alcohol use with a commonly used 4-question tool.
Provides a score indicating the severity of dependence on opioids using a 5-item questionnaire.
Evaluates opioid treatment using a set of measures among six domains: drug use, HIV risk-taking behavior, social functioning, criminality, health status, and psychological adjustment.
Provides a brief self-report instrument for population screening, clinical case finding, and treatment evaluation research to yield a quantitative index of the degree of consequences related to drug abuse.
Uses a semistructured interview to address seven potential problem areas in substance-abusing patients: medical status, employment and support, drug use, alcohol use, legal status, family/social status, and psychiatric status.
A site for finding high-quality addiction treatment and taking a self-assessment to find which treatment is right for different people.
Provides evidence-based examples, promising models, program best practices, and resources organizations can use to implement substance use disorder prevention and treatment programs
The Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription medication, and other Substance use (TAPS) Tool consists of a combined screening component (TAPS-1) followed by a brief assessment (TAPS-2) for those who screen positive.
