Best Practices

NREPP is a searchable online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that have been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers.  The purpose of this registry is to assist the public in identifying approaches to preventing and treating mental and/or substance use disorders that have been scientifically tested and that can be readily disseminated to the field.

SAMHSA provides this Web Guide to assist the public with connections to Web sites that contain information about interventions to prevent and/or treat mental and substance use disorders. The guide can be used by stakeholders throughout the behavioral health field to promote awareness of current intervention research and to increase the implementation and availability of evidence-based practices (EBPs).
