Addiction Treatment Matching: Research Foundations of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria

Editor: David R. Gastfriend

Addiction Treatment Matching: Research Foundations of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Criteria focuses on the state-of-the-art in addictions placement matching. This book examines the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria (PPC) which promises a national standard to settle the conflict between treatment programs and managed care. The research in this book has led the majority of U.S. states to endorse the ASAM Criteria. This timely resource will help providers, insurers, and payers work together to provide effective treatment for people with alcohol and drug problems.

In Addiction Treatment Matching, you'll find answers to such questions as:

What are the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria and how can they improve treatment?
How does a program define its level of care?
Can the ASAM Criteria be standardized and validated?
How can technology help users achieve consistency in determining patients' needs?
How can the ASAM Criteria improve care for patients with co-occurring disorders?
What is needed for further development?
