Understanding and Utilizing the ASAM Placement Criteria
This free NAADAC webinar is designed to explain the underlying principles of the ASAM Criteria and help utilize the ASAM Criteria in assessment, tailored treatment planning and broadening services to provide a more flexible continuum of care.
Clinicians involved in assessment, referral, planning and managing care often lack a common language and systematic assessment and treatment approach. The Patient Placement Criteria of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) first published in 1991, provided common language to help the field develop a broader continuum of care. The second edition (PPC-2) was published in 1996 and a revised second edition (ASAM PPC-2R) was published April 2001.
As a result of participating in this webinar, you will be able to:
- review the underlying concepts and principles of the ASAM Placement Criteria;
- apply the ASAM Criteria in clinical work to broaden services and better meet the needs of clients; and
- discuss implications for addressing Dimensions 4 and 5 regarding readiness to change and relapse prevention.
