Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.

Due Thursday

Selecting the correct assessment that best meets a client’s needs is a crucial step before constructing their treatment plan. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) provides standards for clinical placement criteria, which you can reference and add to your repertoire of resources in this academic program and your career.

Before completing this week’s discussion, review the following resources:

  • Table 5.1, “Six Dimensions of Assessment for Substance Abuse” in Ch. 5, “Introduction to Assessment” of Foundations of Addictions Counseling
  • TIP 31: Screening and Assessing Adolescents for Substance Use Disorders from SAMHSA

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • How are the results of a clinical assessment and intake reflected within the ASAM Criteria?
  • What assessment recommendations would you make for a child or adolescent who is addicted to or using substances?

Where possible, provide relevant details and/or examples to support your answer.

Cite at least one scholarly source.

Due Monday
