成瘾治疗改善网络（NIATx）教导酒精和药物治疗方案应用过程改进策略，并进行组织变革，以提高护理质量。参与计划减少了入院天数，增加了护理保留率，并在其治疗中心内推广了流程改进的应用。更一般地说，NIATx提供了一个框架，用于解决医学研究所的六个方面的质量护理（即，安全、有效、以患者为中心、高效、及时和公平）。NIATx及其扩展说明了行为健康领域如何应对对更高质量治疗服务的需求。
The Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) teaches alcohol and drug treatment programs to apply process improvement strategies and make organizational changes that improve quality of care. Participating programs reduce days to admission, increase retention in care, and spread the application of process improvement within their treatment centers. More generally, NIATx provides a framework for addressing the Institute of Medicine's six dimensions of quality care (i.e., safe, effective, patient-centered, efficient, timely, and equitable) in treatments for alcohol, drug, and mental health disorders. NIATx and its extensions illustrate how the behavioral health field can respond to the demand for higher quality treatment services.
