Hi, friend! Following my previous question, could you explain more about what treatment evaluation is?

Hope it helps!

Thanks a lot for your hard questions.

Program evaluation is “the systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics, and outcomes of programs to make judgments about the program, improve program effectiveness, and/or inform decisions about future program development”. However, treatment evaluation is more than a systematic collection of information or a set of procedures to review the various aspects of a treatment program; it is also an attitude. That attitude is one geared towards establishing a healthy culture for evaluation within the treatment center, with the mission of continually questioning and gaining information on the program implementation, components, and results. For example. You may try to ask yourselves about your treatment services:
• Are the treatment activities implemented as we initially intended?
• Is our treatment program getting the results we want?
• Are we using our resources, such as money and staff, appropriately?
• Is the treatment program worthwhile?
