For those battling substance use disorder (SUD), there is no one-size fits all approach to treatment, and an off-the-shelf solution for recovery simply doesn’t exist. That’s why we partnered with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) in the development and ongoing operations of the Continuum assessment and the Co-Triage screener.
These crucial assessment tools use structured screening interviews that inform person-centered care. With them, data, reports and level of care recommendations from ASAM are seamlessly integrated with behavioral health electronic medical record systems. Continuum can be implemented in a variety of settings, including public health, criminal justice and private health systems.
Always available, from intake to discharge
With Continuum and Co-Triage, the entire treatment team — from intake specialists to treatment providers — has access to a structured interview platform to determine appropriate levels of care and inform treatment plans for those with substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. These tools can be repeatedly used throughout an individual’s journey to recovery to guide treatment and planning.
Getting ready for the ASAM CONTINUUM™, 4th Edition
Since 2015, we’ve partnered with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) to develop electronic assessment tools using The ASAM Criteria standards to guide treatment and care planning for those with substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions.
With the recent update to the fourth edition of the criteria, we’re working to develop and introduce a corresponding fourth edition of the Continuum and Co-Triage, and we’ll provide a crosswalk feature to allow clinicians to receive fourth edition level of care recommendations using the third edition assessment.
We’re committed to ensuring you have the most up-to-date assessment technology. We’ll continue to support the third edition for the foreseeable future, and our crosswalk will provide a seamless transition from the third edition to the fourth.
The fourth edition reorders the dimensions from the third edition. Readiness to change is now considered within each dimension, and the third edition Dimensions 5 and 6 were shifted to Dimensions 4 and 5, respectively, in the fourth edition. The new Dimension 6: Person-centered considerations considers barriers to care (including social determinants of health), patient preferences and need for motivational enhancement.
Continuum and Co-Triage are now available for purchase through electronic health record (EHR) platforms and other client record systems.
