Advancing Recovery: State and Provider Partnerships for Quality Addiction Care is an $11 million national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation designed to promote the use of evidence-based practices by treatment providers through innovative partnerships between providers and single state agencies. This initiative is expected to improve clinical and administrative practices that impede the use of evidence-based practices.

In the first round of two planned grant cycles, Advancing Recovery will award six grants for a period of up to two years at a maximum of $180,000 per year to increase the use of evidence-based practices at the provider level. The use of evidence-based practices will be facilitated by implementing innovative administrative strategies at both the state and provider levels. Selected grantees will implement evidence-based practices from at least two of the five targeted categories selected by Advancing Recovery:

1. The use of medications for specific diagnoses
2. Screening and brief intervention in primary care settings
3. The use of specific psychosocial clinical interventions
4. The use of post-treatment aftercare
5. Provision of case management, wrap-around, and supportive services
