Informing Treatment Plans in Crisis

For those battling addiction and substance use disorder (SUD), there is no one-size fits all approach to sobriety. An off-the-shelf solution for recovery simply does not exist.

That is why we partnered with the American Society for Addiction Medicine to assist in the development and ongoing operations of the ASAM CONTINUUM™ and the ASAM CO-Triage® Screener, structured screening interviews that inform whole-person centered care.

As an authorized distributor of these electronic assessment tools, we can automatically integrate the data, reports and level of care recommendations from ASAM into our Blue Compass case management systems.

Always Available, From Intake to Discharge

With ASAM CONTINUUM and ASAM CO-Triage Screener, the entire treatment team from intake specialist to provider has access to a structured interview to inform treatment plans for those with substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. These tools can be repeatedly used throughout a client’s journey to recovery to guide treatment and planning.

The comprehensive CONTINUUM has been validated by decades of research and is endorsed and required by more than 30 states. The CO-Triage Screener provides an abbreviated assessment to springboard a preliminary level of care and is primarily used by urgent care centers, call centers, court coordinators and law enforcement.
