Assessing for Level of Care

Follow the media scenario, Riverbend City: Case Scenarios Part 1, for the client you have selected for the remaining assignments in Units 5 and 9. You have explored the 6 dimensions of the ASAM criteria in the media piece and in this unit's studies. Use the 6 dimensions of the ASAM criteria to assess for the appropriate level of care for the client in preparation for developing your assessment strategy in Unit 5 assignment. In this discussion, share what you learned from interacting with the client by addressing: ◦What questions were most challenging to generate? ◦How did this exercise help to highlight what information is missing to determine an appropriate level of care? ◦How do the gaps inform an assessment strategy?
