What is the criterion that is used to guide addiction treatment matching in a majority of states?​
A) ​OARS
B) ​ASAM
C) ​AUDIT
D) ​SAMHSA

Accepted Answer

ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria is widely used in a majority of states to guide addiction treatment matching. The ASAM criteria includes six dimensions that assess a person's medical, psychological, and social functioning, as well as their readiness for change and previous treatment experiences. These dimensions help determine the appropriate level of care and treatment methods for a patient's individual needs.

Question 5

Which of the following is not a good reason for using group therapy as a modality for addiction treatment:​
A) ​cost-effective
B) ​in general,group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy
C) ​it's the best modality for using films and lectures to describe the nature of addiction
D) ​helps people who have become isolated from friends and family

Accepted Answer

While group therapy can certainly be effective in addiction treatment for various reasons, using films and lectures to describe addiction is not necessarily the best use of this modality. Other forms of therapy or education may be more appropriate for delivering information about addiction.

Question 6

A group that has no conditions for group membership,no requirement for attendance or participation,and no requirement for abstinence or the desire for abstinence is best described as a:​
A) ​cognitive-behavioral group
B) ​harm-reduction drop-in group
C) ​solution-focused group
D) ​twelve-step group

Accepted Answer

A harm-reduction drop-in group is a type of group that does not require any conditions for group membership, attendance, or abstinence. The focus of this type of group is on reducing harm associated with addiction rather than requiring complete abstinence. Cognitive-behavioral groups, solution-focused groups, and twelve-step groups all have some form of requirements or expectations for membership, attendance, or abstinence.
