Understanding ASAM Criteria

Understanding ASAM Criteria: A Foundational Overview and 4th Edition Highlights

The New England ATTC, in partnership with The Substance Use and Mental Health Leadership Council of Rhode Island is hosting a targeted TA session titled, "Understanding ASAM Criteria: A Foundational Overview and 4th Edition Highlights" with subject matter expert Brian Hurley, MD. This session provides a foundational overview of the ASAM Criteria, including key updates in the Fourth Edition (2023) and major changes from prior versions. 

The ASAM Criteria offers a patient-centered, evidence-based framework for assessing and treating substance use and co-occurring conditions, with an increased emphasis on a chronic care model and continuity across the care continuum. The training will also highlight practical applications in correctional settings, including screening, level-of-care decision-making, and care transitions during reentry—areas further emphasized in the Fourth Edition.
