High Society: How Substance Abuse Ravages America

Califano, Joseph A., Jr. -- New York: Public Affairs Books, 2007, xiv, 270 pp.  ISBN: 1-58648-335-8.   

Substance abuse has touched nearly every family and circle of friends in America.  It contributes to -- and aggrevates -- problems such as soaring health costs, crime, family violence and breakup, the spread of AIDS, teen pregnancy, poverty, and low productivity in the workplace.  The author is a former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and currently president of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.  In this book, he presents a manifesto of actions that can be taken to fundamentally change the way the United States views and confronts drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.

Treatment Planning M.A.T.R.S.: Utilizing the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) to Make Required Data Collection Useful

Stilen P, Carise D, Roget N, Wendler A. Kansas City, MO : Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center in residence at University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2005/2007.

This curriculum (formerly called "S.M.A.R.T. Treatment Planning") was developed through the NIDA/SAMHSA-ATTC Blending Initiative including staff from CSAT's Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) Network and NIDA researchers. The product is a 6-hour continuing education curriculum package addressing how to transform required "paperwork" into clinically useful information. The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is one of the most widely used tools for the assessment of substance use-related problems. Addiction counselors working in community-based treatment centers administer the ASI yet often fail to use findings to identify client problems, develop individualized treatment plans, and make referrals matched to client needs. Intake workers, counselors, supervisors, and managers often view the ASI assessment as time consuming and not clinically useful. From a program management perspective, supervisors and administrators often do not utilize treatment plans to monitor treatment outcomes and/or client retention. This course will review how to use the ASI to integrate these clinical processes.  This package can be downloaded from the web at http://www.mattc.org/information/smart2/ or print copies can be ordered by calling 816-482-1100.
