manualized treatment

Manualized treatment refers to a structured approach where healthcare providers follow a detailed guide or manual for delivering therapy. This manual outlines specific steps, techniques, and goals to ensure consistency and clarity in treatment. It helps clinicians stick to evidence-based practices, making the therapy more reliable and effective across different providers and settings. Essentially, it's like having a recipe for therapy that promotes quality, replicability, and accountability, ensuring patients receive a standardized and systematic approach to their care.
