The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
announces the availability of Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) 28,
The National Rural Alcohol and Drug Abuse Network Awards for Excellence
2004, Submitted and Award-Winning Papers. This TAP presents seven papers
submitted to the 2004 National Rural Alcohol and Drug Abuse Network
(NRADAN) Awards for Excellence. Each paper describes effective and
innovative models of treatment and prevention services in rural
populations. This publication seeks to promote and showcase research
addressing the unique and special challenges of providing treatment
services to individuals in rural areas and their families.

The first place paper describes the effectiveness of a self-funded drug
court. The second place paper highlights effective strength- and
home-based substance abuse treatment and recovery support programs. The
third place paper presents a substance abuse prevention program for
lower income mothers. The topics of the other four papers include
treatment outcomes of people who use methamphetamine, a discussion of
faith- and community-based reentry services, a comparison of people who
use drugs in rural and very rural areas, and a description of an
electronic version of the Addiction Severity Index.
