Psychosocial Interventions for Mental and Substance Use Disorders

---

Approximately 20 percent of Americans are affected by mental health and substance use disorders, which are associated with sig- nificant morbidity and mortality. While the evidence base for the effectiveness of interventions to treat these disorders is sizable, a considerable gap exists between what is known to be effective and interventions that are actually delivered in clinical care. Addressing this quality chasm in mental health and substance use care is particularly critical given the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which are changing the delivery of care and access to treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Increasing emphasis on accountability and performance measurement, moreover, will require strategies to promote and measure the quality of psychosocial interventions. In this report, the study committee develops a framework that can be used to chart a path toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for those with mental health and substance use disorders. This framework identifies the key steps entailed in successfully bringing an evidence-based psychosocial intervention into clinical practice.
