Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria

Copyright and Permissions

ASAM uses permissions agreements to authorize the use of ASAM’s intellectual property.

Overview

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria® is the nation’s most respected, comprehensive, and widely used set of clinical standards for matching patients to the right level of care based on the severity of their disease and their multidimensional needs. The common language and universal standards set by The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria establish a framework to help payors and healthcare systems ensure they are offering the full continuum of care to meet patients’ needs.

However, when The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria is not fully implemented or used with fidelity, it can undermine patient care and compromise recovery. ASAM has a responsibility – to providers, payors, regulators, patients and their families – to ensure The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria continues to be equated with high-quality care proven to be effective in addiction treatment.

The following framework will be used to grant permissions for the use of ASAM’s intellectual property with disclaimers that help avoid confusion among patients, families, providers or payors. This process is part of a larger effort by ASAM to support the implementation of The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø Criteria standards across the addiction treatment system.
