Both the health care sector generally and the alcohol and drug field are moving toward a truly systematic approach to treatment, accelerated by the anticipated advent of health care reform.

Recent work giving the alcohol and drug treatment field an edge in systems development is discussed. Regrettably, the main motivation for deploying systems has become economic. They would more appropriately be justified by their potential for enhancing the efficacy of treatment.
