A 5.5 hour training event Thursday, January 30, 2014

PRESENTATION: The ASAM Criteria are the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for assessment, service planning, placement, continued stay and discharge of patients with addictive disorders. A new edition was released in October 2013. This presentation will inform participants of what is new since the last edition ASAM PPC-2R, 2001. It will review the underlying concepts of the ASAM Criteria in general and the goals of this new edition. Besides updating participants on what is in the new edition, this workshop will also help participants apply the Criteria across a wide variety of settings with different populations – older adults, criminal justice settings, parents with children and safety sensitive occupations. It will include discussion of the section on how to work effectively with managed care and participants are encouraged to bring clinical or systems situations and cases for consultation. Participants will:

·  review the underlying concepts and goals of the new edition of The ASAM Criteria and what is new;

·  identify how to use ASAM Criteria in different settings with various clinical populations; and

·  discuss the ASAM Criteria in the context of outcomes-driven versus program-driven treatment and healthcare reform.
