We have a wide continuum of levels of care, not meant to have people just automatically step up the ladder or automatically step down the ladder, but to really give options to place a person wherever they need to be, depending on their severity and their needs, much like you would do with any continuum for other illnesses.
Ever wondered how addiction treatment guidelines evolve? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods welcomes Dr. David Mee-Lee, Senior Vice President at The Change Companies, to break down the revamped ASAM Criteria. This updated guide, essential for treating substance-related and co-occurring conditions, incorporates the latest science and is aligned with DSM-5 standards. Dr.
Mee-Lee discusses the significant changes from the 2001 edition, including new focus areas like gambling and tobacco use disorders, and special sections for older adults and those in the criminal justice system. He also explains how these criteria impact treatment plans and insurance policies, making it a must-listen for professionals and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of addiction recovery.
