This immersive, one-day advanced training is designed for clinicians, supervisors, and interdisciplinary professionals who are actively engaged in the delivery of substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring mental health services. Facilitated by subject matter experts, the session will focus on the practical application of The ASAM Criteria Fourth Edition through interactive, case-based learning. Participants will explore how to integrate the updated criteria into real-world clinical scenarios to develop holistic, culturally humble, trauma-informed, and person-centered service plans.

The training emphasizes experiential learning to strengthen clinical judgment, enhance consistency in level of care determinations, and improve treatment planning outcomes. Participation in foundational ASAM Fourth Edition training is strongly recommended as a prerequisite to ensure appropriate foundational knowledge prior to enrolling in this training. Through guided practice, participants will refine their ability to make objective, criteria-driven decisions that align with the evolving standards of care for individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions.
