The ASAM Criteria text describes treatment as a continuum marked by four broad levels of service and an early intervention level. Within the five broad levels of care, decimal numbers are used to further express gradations of intensity of services.These levels of care provide a standard nomenclature for describing the continuum of recovery-oriented addiction services. With the ASAM CONTINUUM™, clinicians are able to conduct a multidimensional assessment that explores individual risks and needs, as well as strengths, skills and resources. ASAM CONTINUUM then provides clinicians with a recommended ASAM Level of Care that matches intensity of treatment services to identified patient needs. To fully understand the different ASAM Levels of Care and appropriate matching of services to patient needs, refer to the Service Planning and Placement chapter in The ASAM Criteria: Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related, and Co-Occurring Conditions (2013).
