Finding the time and funds to attend conferences or to earn continuing education contact hours isn't always possible. The Hazelden Clinical Innovators Series makes it easier for you. The need for standardized client care was recognized in 1991, when the American Society of Addiction Medicine published its Patient Placement Criteria for treating psychoactive substance use disorders. The latest revision of the ASAM-PPC-2R manual takes on renewed importance with today's emphasis on evidence-based practice. In this DVD, David Mee-Lee presents a clear and concise overview of the latest ASAM criteria. You'll learn to:
*Use those criteria to support sound clinical perspectives
*Validate key thoughts
*Explore new ways of viewing your work without negating your current services.
*Includes a video workshop on DVD, a 104-page clinician's manual written by Mee-Lee and Tomlin and a test that allows you to earn 10 continuing education hours. Closed Captioned
