Over the past few years, the international organisations have produced a range of excellent evidence-based guidance and quality standards on drug (use disorder) treatment. But how do the funders, leaders and managers of drug treatment services put this guidance and standards into practice?

The International Consortium on Quality (ICQ) identified a gap in practical advice for managers on how to implement this guidance and standards. ICQ is therefore pleased to launch a ‘Management handbook’ to help fill this implementation gap.

This resource is designed to help leaders and managers transfer current technology on ‘what works’ and what is efficient and ethical management in drug treatment into practice. It enables managers to audit and improve their progress in meeting international key quality standards and improve their outcomes for patients and communities.

The Management Handbook was authored by Annette Dale-Perera with input from ICQ colleges and a group of drug treatment managers from around the globe.

Kindly note this is Part I of a four-part webinar series and we look forward to welcoming you to the event.
