ADD5107: Week 2 Discussion 1: Sequential Stages of Outpatient Treatment

In addition to the levels of care described by ASAM, outpatient treatment can be broken

down into four sequential stages that clients work through, regardless of the level of

care at which they enter treatment. (See "Intensive Outpatient Treatment and the

Continuum of Care" from the weekly readings.) Describe in detail these stages and what

critical tasks are achieved in them. How might you apply these to diverse populations?

Also, how might you effectively treat a co-occurring disorder?
