Workshop Overview:
The goal of this interactive workshop is to help clinical staff identify the changes from the ASAM Criteria 3rd and 4th Editions and then to be able to implement the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition. Workshop participants will be able to identify at least 2 changes in the 6 Assessment Dimensions, and their corresponding new sub-dimensions within the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition. Workshop participants will be able to identify at least 2 changes in Continuum of Care of the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition. Workshop participants will be able to analyze how harm reduction, trauma informed care and cultural humility have been incorporated into the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition.

Finally, participants will be able to utilize the Level of Care Determination rules to make a final Level of Care recommendation using the ASAM Criteria 4th Edition.
