NIATx
Since
2005, OASAS has used the Network for the Improvement of Treatment (NIATx)
principles as a foundation for the conceptual and theoretical framework of
IPR processes and procedures. These empirically-derived concepts are
guiding treatment principles for improving treatment outcomes specifically
related to patient access and retention in treatment. NIATx principles
have been integrated with the peer review process to help stimulate
process improvements and strengthen treatment. OASAS has developed the
peer review process to not only address the six federally mandated review
areas, but to specifically focus on process improvement opportunities in
the areas of patient access and retention.
NIATx strives to both orient programs to process improvement methods and
facilitate the application of those methods to enhance treatment outcomes.
The four NIATx aims are relevant to NYS treatment providers and are as
follows:
1) Reduce waiting times between the initial contact with
potential
patients and the first treatment session;
2) Reduce the number of patient no-shows;
3) Increase admissions to treatment;
and
4) Increase continuation from the first through the fourth
treatment
session.
In the Finger Lakes, the Communities of Solution initiative has joined in
promoting NIATx principles for all treatment agencies.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Region II Consortium of Alcohol and Substance
Abuse Providers is an organization of prevention and treatment agencies dedicated to
the
reduction and elimination of alcoholism and drug abuse throughout the Finger Lakes 12
county region.
This Consortium meets on a monthly basis to discuss programmatic
issues, administrative issues, and to advocate for the rights and needs of those who are
chemically dependent.
The premise upon which Region II CASAS stands is as follows: all
individuals and families who are affected by alcoholism or other drug dependency have a
right to prevention and treatment services to include: a right to treatment upon demand
and a right to the level of treatment and length of treatment appropriate for the
level of severity, co-morbidity, and associated stressors and complications.
CASAS further recognizes that for every $1 invested in
alcoholism/drug abuse prevention and treatment, there is a savings return to society of
$7-12, in reduced health care costs, reduced crime and violence costs, reduced welfare
costs, decreased business costs, decreased insurance costs, and increases to the
government in overall tax revenues.
