ASAM Criteria 4th Edition Foundations Course
Friday, July 19, 2024 | 8:30 am - 3:30 pm MT
Virtual-Live Course
Overview
This 6-hour, live-virtual course is the recommended first step to understanding the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition and covers developing patient-centered service plans as well as making objective decisions about patient admission, continuing care, and transfer/discharge for individuals with addictive, substance-related, and co-occurring conditions.
The workshop content is based on information found in The ASAM Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions, Fourth Edition, and incorporates an opportunity for participants to practice applying the information through case-based activities. Learners will have the opportunity to ask the presenter questions in real-time, participate in polling questions, and break into small groups.
The ASAM Criteria Course can also serve as a bridge to the implementation of a provider credentialing program. Providers who have completed ASAM-approved training can gain the initial skill set to deliver care in compliance with The ASAM Criteria.
The target audience for this introductory, intermediate, and advanced course include counselors, social workers, payers, administrators, and other clinical staff.
