Sixty outpatient addiction treatment agencies in Ontario, Canada, participated in a case study exploring the factors related to the adoption of research-evaluated treatment technologies. The agencies received free training in a manual-based, brief outpatient treatment program. At a twelve-month follow-up period, managers were interviewed to assess the proportion of agencies using the treatment package and the factors encouraging or discouraging their agencies' use of the program. While the dissemination was a success (49 percent of agencies had used the treatment program and 83 percent had used at least some of the tools), questions remain as to why some agencies adopted the treatment package while others did not.
