Tranining on the Managing Drug Use Disorder Treatment Services in Line with International 'Key Quality Standards' (the Management Handbook)
Description
This course is for managers and clinical leads of SUD treatment services. Over the past few years, international organizations have produced a range of excellent evidence-based guidance and quality standards on drug (use disorder) treatment including, the ‘International Standards for the Treatment of Drug Use Disorders’ WHO/UNODC (2020). But how do the funders, leaders and managers of drug treatment services put these guidance and standards into practice? The International Consortium on Quality (ICQ) identified a gap in practical advice for managers on how to implement this guidance and standards and commissioned the ‘Management handbook’ to help fill this implementation gap.
This training based on the new ‘Management Handbook’ (Colombo Plan 2025), supports national and international initiatives to improve the quality and effectiveness of SUD services for those who use services and their communities.
The training is delivered by Annette Dale-Perera (author of the Management Handbook) and Rita Notarandrea (ICQ Global Lead).
