1 Hour Webinar Training with Ben Nordstrom, Ph.D.
PRESENTATION: This Webinar is designed to help clinicians get clients to the appropriate level of addiction care they require. Addiction presents with different levels of severity, and no one treatment type is “right” for everyone. The purpose of this training is for clinicians to familiarize themselves with the tools, such as the ASAM Criteria, that can assist with this process.
Participants will:
- Recognize that addiction severity varies
- Understand the need for “treatment matching”
- Summarize how ASAM Criteria assist in this
