Help ASAM monitor the usage of The ASAM Criteria® by reporting any misuse to ASAM's Coalition for National Clinical Criteria. Reporting misuse ensures The ASAM Criteria is administered consistently and correctly.
When you should report misuse:
-
Treatment provider not utilizing the content and spirit of The ASAM Criteria
-
State agency not utilizing the content and spirit of The ASAM Criteria
-
If you are having difficulty getting into a needed ASAM level of care
-
Denial of admission to or continued service of an ASAM level of care
-
Length-of-stay is program-driven and not individualized or clinically-driven
