ASAM Criteria 3rd Edition Foundations Course

This education offering is based on The ASAM Criteria Textbook, 3rd Edition. This 8-hour course workshop content is based on information found in The ASAM Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions, Third Edition, and incorporates an opportunity for participants to practice applying the information through case-based activities. The ASAM Criteria Course can also serve as a bridge to the implementation of a provider credentialing program. Providers who have successfully completed ASAM-approved training can gain the initial skill set to deliver care in compliance with The ASAM Criteria. 

States and payers are adopting the 4th Edition at varying rates, and certain jurisdictions might still be in the process of implementing older versions of The ASAM Criteria textbook. If you're unsure whether you should complete the 3rd or 4th Edition ASAM Criteria Foundations course, we recommend reaching out to your employer or contacting your state representatives for guidance.
