Learn how to implement the ASAM Criteria at your facility!
Addiction Treatment Matching: Research Foundations of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria focuses on the state-of-the-art in addictions placement matching. This book examines the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria (PPC) which promises a national standard to settle the conflict between treatment programs and managed care. The research in this book has led the majority of U.S. states to endorse the ASAM Criteria. This timely resource will help providers, insurers, and payers work together to provide effective treatment for people with alcohol and drug problems.
Addiction Treatment Matching is a comprehensive resource on the leading approach to addiction treatment planning. Experts in mental health and addiction services provide research studies that reveal the impact of ASAM Criteria on health plans, substance abuse treatment programs, and the patients themselves. This book provides validation for an innovative model that can revolutionize the addictions field with standardized, empirically based treatment planning.
In Addiction Treatment Matching, you’ll find answers to such questions as:
What are the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria and how can they improve treatment? How does a program define its level of care? Can the ASAM Criteria be standardized and validated? How can technology help users achieve consistency in determining patients’ needs? How can the ASAM Criteria improve care for patients with co-occurring disorders? What is needed for further development?
This book will help:
programs evaluate and adopt the ASAM Criteria programs and providers prepare for managed care through the science of optimal treatment planning treatment systems plan the implementation of the ASAM Criteria states, insurers, and accreditation and certification entities assist and evaluate programs to achieve more effective, resource-efficient care
In light of recommendations by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment that states proceed with the implementation of placement criteria, Addiction Treatment Matching is an essential resource for substance abuse counselors, program directors, nurses, social workers, physicians and psychiatrists, managed care organizations, health insurers, and policymakers.
