General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM Criteria For those agencies that use the ASAM criteria in their businesses the following guide describes the ASAM related information produced by our software and how you can manually determine how it fits into the ASAM grid of information The ASAM criteria focus on six dimensions of biopsychosocial severity ndash See Below If the test results for the specified section of the Compu-Tools assessment are less than shown in the ldquoResultrdquo column the element is not scored (eg If total ldquoComputer Scoringrdquo shows a ldquoPossiblerdquo instead of a ldquoDefiniterdquo drug problem the score will be ldquo0rdquo)

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

        The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

          Assessment Results

          The Psychological Scales Test is a compilation of individual psychological tests the were authored by reliable sources validatedindependently from the creating author(s) and were available for public use Each scale is scored in accordance with the authorsinstructions The instrument includes Depression Cognitive Slippage Anxiety and Anger scales Depression = CES-D (RutgersUniversity Press) Myrna M Weissmen Jerome K Myers and Catherine E Ross Cognitive Slippage = (State University of NewYork at Buffalo) Tracey C Miera and Michael L Raulin Anxiety Scale = (Florida State University - University of Georgia)David Westhuis and Bruce A Thyer Anger Scale = (Based on two MMPI scales - Personality Inventory - 2 and theInterpersonal Behavior Scale) Glenda Loomis

          This psychological screening tool has been designed to alert the diagnostician to the possibility of certain emotionaldisturbances The clients responses about the way they feel are compared to norms and then interpreted by validated testinstruments

          It is important that the clinician recognize that these tools assess the current severity of respondent self reported emotions and arenot definitive diagnostic instruments A clinical cutting score is used for each scale Scores in excess of these cutting scores areindicative of a potential problem while scores below these levels are not reported for interpretation The clinician should alwaysobtain corroborative data from the client and the other key information sources before making a diagnostic or treatment decisionThis is especially critical with borderline scores

          CAS (Clinical Anxiety Scale) Maximum Score = 100

          General Exam Information

          This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

          Supplemental Exam Information

          The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

          Recommendations

          EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

          OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

          INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

          SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

          PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

          ASAM Criteria

          Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

          Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

          A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

      The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

      The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

      The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

      The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

      The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT STATEMENT

        This psychological screening tool has been designed to alert the diagnostician to the possibility of certain emotionaldisturbances The clients responses about the way they feel are compared to norms and then interpreted by validated testinstruments

        It is important that the clinician recognize that these tools assess the current severity of respondent self reported emotions and arenot definitive diagnostic instruments A clinical cutting score is used for each scale Scores in excess of these cutting scores areindicative of a potential problem while scores below these levels are not reported for interpretation The clinician should alwaysobtain corroborative data from the client and the other key information sources before making a diagnostic or treatment decisionThis is especially critical with borderline scores

        General Exam Information

        This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

        Supplemental Exam Information

        The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

        Recommendations

        EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

        OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

        INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

        SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

        PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

        ASAM Criteria

        Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

        Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

        Assessment Results

        This instrument is a compilation of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validatedtests were copied and then scored in accordance with the individual authors recommendations No attempt has been made tocreate a new diagnostic instrument We have attempted to provide a compilation of proven tests so the clients diagnosis oftheir own behavior can be compared to multiple scales and a comprehensive profile of symptoms be developed for analysis Theuse of multiple scales eliminates the dependence on a single instrument and any bias or limitation that I may contain TheDSM-IV is the source for the Antisocial and Conduct Disorder designations and the scoring method used Antisocial Practicesquestions resemble those included in the MMPI and scoring techniques are similar to those recommended in the related scalesThe Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form is based on the works of Dr Glenn D Walters which can be found in the book TheCriminal Lifestyle-Patterns of Serious Criminal Conduct (Sage Publications) Note Both adolescents and adults can use thistool The questions are categorized by age and the computer isolates those responses that are applicable to each client group AValidation Manual of all Tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

Note The current DSM V and ASAM Criteria are not in accord Most treatment recommendations mandate ASAM processes We have elected to maintain DSM-IV R and ASAM Criteria that are in diagnostic and treatment harmony The DSM IV R is but one of many tests results obtained using Compu-Tools ASAM Criteria - Compu-Tools computerized test results include ASAM coding that enables the Clinician to more accurately assess ASAM placement criteria This drug testing output can be entered onto a ASAM Criteria Worksheet Development of Compu-Tools Development Guidelines Assessments should include

bull Risk Factors Symptoms and Consequences that relate to destructive behaviors bull Legal and Illegal behaviors and substances used bull Author strengths and biases which can be balanced in a composite diagnostic environment bull Assessments that have independent Validation studies (Studies completed by someone other than the author(s) bull Assessments that are designed for specific populations and not modified from other instruments bull Appropriate Psychological Tests for Treatment PlanningPerformance Contract purposes bull Immediate computerized and accurate scoring HIPAA | ACA | security that enables ldquoteam data | activity entryrdquo bull A Diagnostic design that insures accurate client ldquoself assessmentrdquo of behaviors (MMPI was model used)

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      Assessment Results

      The Psychological Scales Test is a compilation of individual psychological tests the were authored by reliable sources validatedindependently from the creating author(s) and were available for public use Each scale is scored in accordance with the authorsinstructions The instrument includes Depression Cognitive Slippage Anxiety and Anger scales Depression = CES-D (RutgersUniversity Press) Myrna M Weissmen Jerome K Myers and Catherine E Ross Cognitive Slippage = (State University of NewYork at Buffalo) Tracey C Miera and Michael L Raulin Anxiety Scale = (Florida State University - University of Georgia)David Westhuis and Bruce A Thyer Anger Scale = (Based on two MMPI scales - Personality Inventory - 2 and theInterpersonal Behavior Scale) Glenda Loomis

      This psychological screening tool has been designed to alert the diagnostician to the possibility of certain emotionaldisturbances The clients responses about the way they feel are compared to norms and then interpreted by validated testinstruments

      It is important that the clinician recognize that these tools assess the current severity of respondent self reported emotions and arenot definitive diagnostic instruments A clinical cutting score is used for each scale Scores in excess of these cutting scores areindicative of a potential problem while scores below these levels are not reported for interpretation The clinician should alwaysobtain corroborative data from the client and the other key information sources before making a diagnostic or treatment decisionThis is especially critical with borderline scores

      CAS (Clinical Anxiety Scale) Maximum Score = 100

      Description The CLINICAL ANXIETY SCALE (CAS) (Dr Bruce A Thyer 1986) is a 25 item categorypartition scale that measures the amount of anxiety reported by a respondent The CASwas psychometrically derived from a pool of questions largely based upon the diagnosticcriteria found in the DSM-IV

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

    The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

      This psychological screening tool has been designed to alert the diagnostician to the possibility of certain emotionaldisturbances The clients responses about the way they feel are compared to norms and then interpreted by validated testinstruments

      It is important that the clinician recognize that these tools assess the current severity of respondent self reported emotions and arenot definitive diagnostic instruments A clinical cutting score is used for each scale Scores in excess of these cutting scores areindicative of a potential problem while scores below these levels are not reported for interpretation The clinician should alwaysobtain corroborative data from the client and the other key information sources before making a diagnostic or treatment decisionThis is especially critical with borderline scores

      CAS (Clinical Anxiety Scale) Maximum Score = 100

      Description The CLINICAL ANXIETY SCALE (CAS) (Dr Bruce A Thyer 1986) is a 25 item categorypartition scale that measures the amount of anxiety reported by a respondent The CASwas psychometrically derived from a pool of questions largely based upon the diagnosticcriteria found in the DSM-IV

      General Exam Information

      This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

      Supplemental Exam Information

      The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

      Recommendations

      EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

      OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

      INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

      SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

      PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

      ASAM Criteria

      Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

      Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

      A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 11 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksYouth Diagnostic Scale (Young AlcoholicsTom Alibrandi 1978)AlcoholChemical Dependency Checklist (Dr Robert Basham 1984)Life Areas (InterviewTechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)AValidation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after a Teen assessment is completed(Compu-Teen) In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs has had on their lives When thisoccurs it is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered Tocheck for this possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and thencompared with related responses and scoring results

The IQ scale was developed using criteria developed in the decade long SAMHSA (Department of Health and Human Services)study These findings can be found in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1993-2003) This study providesfindings on the use of alcohol and other drugs and its relationship to other demographic information

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    This psychological screening tool has been designed to alert the diagnostician to the possibility of certain emotionaldisturbances The clients responses about the way they feel are compared to norms and then interpreted by validated testinstruments

    It is important that the clinician recognize that these tools assess the current severity of respondent self reported emotions and arenot definitive diagnostic instruments A clinical cutting score is used for each scale Scores in excess of these cutting scores areindicative of a potential problem while scores below these levels are not reported for interpretation The clinician should alwaysobtain corroborative data from the client and the other key information sources before making a diagnostic or treatment decisionThis is especially critical with borderline scores

    CAS (Clinical Anxiety Scale) Maximum Score = 100

    Description The CLINICAL ANXIETY SCALE (CAS) (Dr Bruce A Thyer 1986) is a 25 item categorypartition scale that measures the amount of anxiety reported by a respondent The CASwas psychometrically derived from a pool of questions largely based upon the diagnosticcriteria found in the DSM-IV

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

ASAM guidelines accept the use of the DSM-IV diagnostic information to determine the severity of a Psychoactive Substance Use Disorder and the DSM-IV is just one of the tools contained in Compu-Tool Assessments The additional scales bring balance and additional criteria

The practical application of placement criteria requires some personal andor subjective decisions iMRcom does not support subjective processes but does provide Clinicians with the information they need to make these type of decisions in as quantitative manner as possible

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    General Exam Information

    This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

    Supplemental Exam Information

    The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

    Recommendations

    EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

    OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

    INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

    SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

    PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

    ASAM Criteria

    Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

    Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

    A consultant to iMRcom has provided the following Summary and Assessment Statement that summarizes the generaldeterminations that a Clinician should make when working with ASAM criteria

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Many Clinicians use ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) criteria to categorize their treatment recommendationsCompu-Tools Assessments include numerous indicators that relate to ASAM criteria as it is published in Patient PlacementCriteria Second Edition Revised

Compu-Tools Assessments (Teen Adult Psychological Social Behaviors and Self Tests) include up to 75 indicators that matchor relate to specific ASAM Criteria A review of the Assessment test results Performance Contracts and Client responses are thesource of this information

General Exam Information

This tool is a collection of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validated tests werecopied organized according to the life areas described in Dr Jon Weinberg published works and then scored in accordance withthe individual authors recommendations There has been no attempt to create a new diagnosis instrument We have attempted toprovide a compilation of proven tests so that the clients diagnosis of their own behavior can be compared to multiple scales anda comprehensive profile of symptoms and consequences be developed for analysis This evaluation tool will summarize theresults of 9 individual scales These testing scales are based on the following worksMAST - (Dr Melvin Seizer 1970)NCA -(National Council on Alcoholism 1972)Life Areas Interview TechniquesHazelden Dr Jon Weinberg 1972)DSM IV (DiagnosticStatistical Manual-American Psychiatric Assoc 1994)A Validation Manual of all tests used by iMR is available to our customers

Supplemental Exam Information

The IQ scale has been developed to provide a clinician with supplemental guidance after an AlcoholDrug (Adult) assessment iscompleted In some instances individuals may minimize the affects that alcoholdrugs have had on their lives When this occursit is possible that responses to certain questions may contradict responses to other questions that have been answered To check forthis possibility certain client responses are selected that are definite indicators of destructive behaviors and then compared withrelated responses and scoring

Recommendations

EDUCATION should include information on all drugs including physiological and psychological effects on the user TheEducation Program should include current comprehensive effective materials and information

OUTPATIENT TREATMENT is appropriate if a pattern of abuse has been established and the client is able to abstain fromcontinuing use Elements of outpatient treatment should include education group therapy individual counseling and amechanism for monitoring client abstinence

INPATIENT TREATMENT should be used when voluntary abstinence is not possible andor a controlled environment willenhance treatment results Aftercare is a critical element of treatment as behaviors attitudes and friends must be changed ifpositive results are desired

SELF HELP GROUPS (AANA) must be part of any treatment modality or aftercare

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES should be available as needed from any treatment facility

ASAM Criteria

Assessment Results

This instrument is a compilation of previously copyrighted tests and testing procedures Questions from previously validatedtests were copied and then scored in accordance with the individual authors recommendations No attempt has been made tocreate a new diagnostic instrument We have attempted to provide a compilation of proven tests so the clients diagnosis oftheir own behavior can be compared to multiple scales and a comprehensive profile of symptoms be developed for analysis Theuse of multiple scales eliminates the dependence on a single instrument and any bias or limitation that I may contain TheDSM-IV is the source for the Antisocial and Conduct Disorder designations and the scoring method used Antisocial Practicesquestions resemble those included in the MMPI and scoring techniques are similar to those recommended in the related scalesThe Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form is based on the works of Dr Glenn D Walters which can be found in the book TheCriminal Lifestyle-Patterns of Serious Criminal Conduct (Sage Publications) Note Both adolescents and adults can use thistool The questions are categorized by age and the computer isolates those responses that are applicable to each client group AValidation Manual of all Tests used by iMR is available to our customers
