Sammanfattning
Aims: During the last 10 years researchers in the field of substance abuse treatment have found most of the treatment organisations quite research and innovation resistant according to adopting the concept of evidence-based practice. It is the aim of this paper to show that the treatment services are not resistant to research and innovation, but they are organized around some organizational principles that are hardly compatible to the principles embedded in evidence-based practice.
Methods & Data: This study includes a mapping of the service structure and the treatment method's (evidence-based and not-evidence-based) in 21 outpatient treatment services for adolescent with substance abuse problems.
Results: The treatment services showed not to be occupied by implementing evidence-based practice, but were at the same time open for adoption of innovations in treatment structure and method's, which indicates that they are not resistant to innovations.
Conclusions: In this paper the self-organization of the treatment centres is analysed through a new institutional theory approach, and it is described how the institutional orientation of the treatment centres exclude an adoption of the concept of evidence-based practice. It is suggested that the researchers should shift focus from the inability of the treatment organizations to develop evidence-based practice, and instead focus on how to build up an evidence-based infrastructure in which the producers of evidence-based knowledge and the treatment organizations can obtain knowledge of each others work.
