The addiction treatment planner, fifth edition Ebook

Since it was first published in 1997, the Addiction Treatment Planner has become the established standard for writing effective and efficient treatment plans. Responding to the changing needs of the mental health community, this updated resource now includes DSM 5 diagnostic suggestions and treatment planning language rooted in evidence based care. This allows practitioners to draft treatment plans that are grounded in the latest and most recognized treatments. Other features include: New edition features empirically supported, evidence-based treatment interventions which meet the updated requirements of managed care companies and accrediting agencies. Offers special attention to the patient placement Criteria (PPC) developed by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). A checklist included in the Appendix helps evaluate clients on each of the ASAM six assessment dimensions. Because addiction treatment is often done in a residential setting through a team approach, interventions have been created that can be assigned to staff members of various disciplines and modalities: nursing, medical, group counseling, family therapy, or individual therapy. New interventions that enable practitioners to track patient outcomes, by indicating when to re-test or re-assess using recognized assessment tools. Additional new interventions aimed at measuring patient satisfaction and perception of quality of care, as required by accrediting agencies.
