Training Description: This training will expose participants to integrated research-based strategies used for screening, assessing, treating, discharge planning, and providing recovery support to patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) and co-occurring disorders. Patient assessment and clinical tools (e.g., ASAM, DSM 5, etc.) that provide diagnostic and level of services recommendations will be highlighted. In addition, this training will review the literature/research on utilization management processes including ASAM, LOCUS, and other measures that provide guidance on continuing service, transfer, and discharge criteria. Finally, the facilitators will provide real-time practice opportunities using case studies to review clinical service delivery from patient screening through discharge planning, with a significant focus on developing relevant, individualized patient-centered treatment plans.
