Treatment planning is most effective when the treatment objectives are measurable, attainable, time limited, and realistic. This training, based on the NIDA/SAMHSA Blending Product: Treatment Planning MATRS, presents tools and resources that can help addiction treatment providers transform required "paperwork” into clinically valuable information. Participants learn how to use the data collected via an assessment instrument to assess patients' substance abuse, to develop effective treatment plans, and to monitor outcomes. Using this information appropriately can help treatment providers address the specific needs of individual clients and improve treatment outcomes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
•Learn how to use assessment data for useful clinical applications and program evaluation;
•Identify differences between program-driven and individualized treatment planning processes;
•Address the process of treatment planning and how the data that is collected can be used in recovery planning.
