CSAT TAPs

The Technical Assistance Publications (TAPs) are publications, manuals, and guides developed by CSAT to offer practical responses to emerging issues and concerns in the substance abuse treatment field. Each TAP is developed by an expert who has had firsthand experience with the topic.

The Knowledge Application Website at http://www.kap.samhsa.gov/products/manuals/taps/index.htm provides access to electronic editions of the TAPs to download, browse, or search.
