About ASAM CONTINUUM
The ASAM CONTINUUM is the decision engine for The ASAM Criteria. CONTINUUM is a computer-guided, structured interview for assessing patients with addictive, substance-related, and co-occurring conditions, built from The ASAM Criteria. ASAM CONTINUUM and The ASAM Criteria text should be used in tandem; the text provides the background and guidance for proper use of the software, and the software enables comprehensive, standardized evaluation. With the ASAM CONTINUUM, clinicians can easily conduct a comprehensive biopsychosocial patient risk and needs assessment along all six ASAM Criteria dimensions while determining The ASAM Criteria level of care recommendation.
