May 29	Addiction Severity Index (ASI) May 29, 2013 9 am - 4 pm Cordova, Tenn. Presenter: Thomas H. Coyne, Ed.D., LCSW Fee: $60 6 NAADAC Approved Contact Hours Lunch will be provided! The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a standardized, semi-structured, multi-focused screening assessment instrument used to establish the nature and severity of any Medical, Employment, Drug, Alcohol, Legal, Family, Social, and/or Psychiatric Problems a person may present with. The information collected using the ASI has clinical, program evaluation and research utility. Individuals receiving proven and effective training on the correct use of the ASI generally become knowledgeable regarding the intended purpose of items/questions that make up the ASI 5th Edition, and overtime become very skilled at eliciting responses to those questions. However, many of those same individuals are not as knowledgeable regarding clinical significance of interpretation of the answered elicited to those questions. Therefore, while the course is primarily designed to achieve the documented goal of developing and/or enhancing the knowledge and skills required to correctly administer the ASI, it also discusses the clinical significance of the ASI items, and introduces the participant to the relationship and functionality of the information collected to common clinical tasks such as making substance abuse or dependence diagnosis, patient placement decisions (a.k.a. level of care recommendations) and the assessment of criminogenic risk factors. Please remember to print out all handouts before the training. More information
