Overview of ASAM Criteria 4th Edition Updates Training for Clark County Courts: IN-PERSON CLASS

This event is for the Clark County Specialty Courts Staff only and, therefore, requires a passcode to register. If you are a staff member, please contact your Administrator for the code.

The 4th Edition of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) hardcopy is now available for purchase. Treatment providers and program evaluators use patient placement criteria to ensure that clients receive the appropriate level of care based on person-centered needs. This 6-hour in-person training will highlight changes in the 4th Edition. The content will explore the updated ASAM 6-dimensions and the revised and updated Continuum of Care.  Level of care updates will be provided with special attention on Level 2.1 and MAT service delivery.  Additionally, utilization of how to use the ASAM assessment and admission criteria will be explored. Lastly, there will be discussions related to updated continued service and transfer criteria.  The 4th Edition was developed for adults only.  Adolescent and Criminal Justice version will be available later this year. 

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the major changes introduced in the 4th Edition of the ASAM Criteria, including updates to the 6-dimensions and Continuum of Care.
