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.
