The Knowledge Application Program (KAP) takes knowledge about best treatment practices in substance abuse treatment and packages and promotes it in a way that ensures that its application in the field is widespread. The KAP website provides access to manuals, including the Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) series, Technical Assistance Publications (TAPs), and periodicals; as well as publications in languages other than English through the Multi-Language Initiative (MLI).
