New! TRI-CEP, a web-based tool helping Courts and their stakeholders improve outcomes by tracking and adaptively managing clients, and evaluating programs for substance involved offenders.
Also New! Risk and Needs Triage, a web-based decision support tool fostering cost- and quality-effective placement of drug involved offenders in the community based program best suited for the offenders’ assessed level of criminogenic risk and need for clinical treatment.
Ms. Love’s past project experience includes management of TRI studies of counselor training on electronic resource guides (NIDA and NIAAA funding), and coordination of a NIDA-funded evaluation of concurrent recovery monitoring in the state of Delaware. From 1998 to 2004 she managed the ONDCP-funded DENS project, a multi-site electronic data collection and reporting system that tracked patterns of drug and alcohol abuse across the nation. Other NIDA-funded studies she managed include, in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, a study of a patient-treatment matching protocol based on the Addiction Severity Index; development of an Employee Assistance Program survey estimating the prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse in school and workplace populations; and development of the Substance Abuse Relapse Reduction System (SARRS) for early detection of individuals at high risk for relapse following treatment.
Formally launched in early 2008, the Treatment Research Solutions Group furthers TRI’s founding goal of translating research findings into useful and practical tools and services for treatment providers, policy makers, and parents.
Translational activities that occurred early in TRI’s existence were targeted to counselors and built on the organization’s longstanding connection with the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), leading to training protocols and the DENS electronic data collection system.
Later, TRI introduced
“CASPAR,” an electronic resource guide that helps counselors
match clients to auxiliary services essential to long-term recovery. Since
it was formally created, the Section has become the coordinating hub for
other ventures, some for clinicians but others for parents trying to keep
children safe from drugs and alcohol, and for court officials and their
stakeholders working with substance involved offenders. Selected
