ASAM Criteria 4th Edition Foundations Course

This 4-hour self-paced course is based on the newly published The ASAM Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions, Fourth Edition. This interactive course incorporates an opportunity for participants to practice applying the information through case-based activities. The ASAM Criteria course, 4th Edition, can also serve as a foundation for developing 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.
