ASAM Criteria One-Day Foundations Course
Thursday, March 17, 2022 | 8:30 am - 5:30 pm MT
Virtual-Live Course
Overview
This foundational course is the recommended first step for counselors, social workers, administrators, and other clinical staff to understand the ASAM Criteria. This course helps attendees develop patient-centered service plans as well as make objective decisions about patient admission, continuing care, and transfer/discharge for individuals with addictive, substance-related, and co-occurring conditions. It is an 8-hour live virtual course that includes didactic lecture and interactive case studies.
The 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. 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 beginner, intermediate, and advanced course include: counselors, social workers, payers, administrators, and other clinical staff.
This course addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, and Systems Based Practice.
