Register for the webinar
Join us for the Traumatic Brain Injury Technical Assistance and Resource Center (TBI TARC) webinar, "Cognitive Impairment in Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Neurologic Informed Care."
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) is the leading professional medical society representing physicians, clinicians, and associated professionals in addiction medicine. The ASAM Criteria for substance use disorder treatment is the most widely used and comprehensive set of standards for placement, continued service, and transfer of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions. Most states use the ASAM Criteria as the foundation of their requirements for addiction treatment. The fourth edition of the ASAM Criteria for adults was released in December 2023. For the first time, it includes a chapter addressing treatment for individuals with cognitive impairment.
John D. Corrigan, PhD, ABPP, was a member of the writing group for this chapter. In this webinar, he will introduce the new ASAM expectations for the treatment of persons with cognitive impairment, including "neurologic informed care." Implications for the identification of people in treatment who have a history of brain injury, as well as the use of accommodations to make treatment more accessible, will be discussed.
ASL interpretation, Spanish interpretation, and live English captions will be provided during the webinar. If you require additional accommodations to participate, or if you have any questions about the webinar, please contact the TBI TARC at tbitarc@hsri.org.
