SUMMARY:Deep Dive: ASAM-Based Placement Assessment Part I: The Interview- Using the Tool to Obtain Information
DESCRIPTION:This presentation seeks to provide an overview of conducting a client-centered placement interview utilizing ASAM- based considerations. The presentation emphasizes ensuring client understanding\, minimizing stigma\, and applying trauma-informed practices while gathering clinically relevant biopsychosocial information. It reviews key considerations across ASAM Dimensions 1–6\, including substance use patterns\, withdrawal risk\, medical and mental health conditions\, readiness to change\, continued use potential\, and recovery environment. Not only is it important to know what to ask\, but to consider the way in which we as clinicians ask and elicit information. Throughout\, the training highlights accurate documentation\, objective assessment\, and the ethical responsibility to balance clinical rigor with empathy to gain relevant information. \n\n\n\nAt the conclusion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\nGather comprehensive and clinically relevant information to determine appropriate substance use treatment needs. \n\n\n\nConduct client interviews in a manner that promotes understanding\, clarity\, and engagement. \n\n\n\nDemonstrate client-focused care by recognizing and responding to the impact of assessment questions on the client.
