Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) are prepared by the Quality Assurance and Evaluation Branch of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Their purpose is to facilitate the transfer of state-of-the-art protocols and guidelines for treating alcohol and other drug (AOD) abuse from acknowledged clinical, research, and administrative experts to the Nation's AOD abuse treatment resources. Disseminating a TIP is the last step in a process that begins with the recommendation of an AOD abuse problem area for consideration by a panel of experts. Panel members include clinicians, researchers, and program managers, as well as professionals in related fields such as social services or criminal justice. Once a topic has been selected, CSAT creates a Federal Resource Panel, composed of members of pertinent Federal agencies and national organizations, to review the state-of-the-art treatment and program management in the area selected. This Federal panel's recommendations are then transmitted to a second group of non-Federal experts who are intimately familiar with the topic. This group, known as a non-Federal Consensus Panel, meets for about 3 days, makes recommendations, defines protocols, and arrives at agreement on protocols. Its members represent AOD abuse treatment programs, hospitals, community health centers, counseling programs, criminal justice and child welfare agencies, and private practitioners. The panel chair is charged with ensuring that the resulting protocol reflects true group consensus. The next step is a review of the proposed guidelines and protocol by a third group-the expert field reviewers. Once their recommendations and responses have been reviewed, the chair approves the document for publication. The result is a TIP reflecting the state of the art of AOD abuse treatment in public and private programs recognized for providing high-quality and innovative AOD abuse treatment. This TIP on assessment and treatment planning for cocaine-abusing methadone-maintained patients represents another step by CSAT toward its goal of bringing national leadership to bear in the effort to improve AOD abuse treatment.

Narcotic treatment programs (NTPs) have been successful in treating opioid addicts for their narcotic addiction but in many instances have been less successful in treating patients who are also dependent on cocaine. The increasing prevalence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and multidrug-resistant TB among drug users has further complicated treatment needs and heightened the urgency to provide effective drug treatment services. As the Federal office responsible for providing leadership in improving substance abuse treatment services, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has sponsored the development of this Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) to address the treatment needs of patients who are abusing opioids and stimulants, especially cocaine and crack cocaine. CSAT is committed to assisting State policy officials and treatment providers with understanding current treatment issues and improving treatment for all substance abuse patients. This TIP is one of a series written with the assistance of substance abuse treatment experts throughout the United States that serve as guidelines to help substance abuse treatment providers meet treatment challenges of the 1990s. Furthermore, the TIP is intended to assist State alcohol and drug agencies in implementing 45 CFR, § Part 96, which requires States to provide for independent peer review to assess the quality, appropriateness, and efficacy of treatment services by entities that receive State Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant funds. This TIP provides guidelines to assist States in developing criteria for State independent peer review. The TIP was developed as an initiative of CSAT's Methadone Treatment Improvement Project (MTIP), which is designed to assist States and methadone treatment providers in effectively identifying and addressing technical assistance needs. The problem of patients who are dependent on multiple drugs and stimulants has become increasingly
