3 contact hours - NCSAPPB approved substance abuse specific (SS) and evidence-based treatment (EBT) + NBCC approved provider
The ASAM provides placement criteria for adolescents and adults entering substance abuse treatment programs. ASAM’s criteria uses six dimensions to create a holistic, biopsychosocial assessment of an individual to use for service planning and treatment. This is the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for placement, continued stay, and discharge of clients with addiction disorders.
This training will be a review of the six dimensions of the ASAM criteria, the continuum of care, and the intensity of services. We will discuss specifically how to assess a client in all six areas and share real world examples. This training will be part presentation with ongoing discussions and small group activities. We will also discuss local treatment programs and where they fit in the ASAM’s criteria.
