SAMHSA (2018) suggests using a recovery-oriented approach that includes evidence based practices for addiction (Box 19-4). Additionally, SAMHSA emphasizes that addiction treatment programs should provide options for long-term treatment, such as "ongoing counseling or recovery coaching and support [that] helps in meeting other basic needs like sober housing, employment supports, and continued family involvement" (SAMHSA, 2018, p. 1). Other evidence based practices include contingency management (Prendergast, Podus, Finney, Greenwell, & Roll, 2006), housing first (Padgett, Stanhope, Henwood, & Stefancic, 2011), and mindfulness training (Garland, Roberts-Lewis, Tronnier, Graves, & Kelley, 2016).
