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

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 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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING ASAM CRITERIA
ORIGIN OF EVALUATION CRITERIA
Contract = Performance Contract Conditions that are developed when an individual agrees to change behaviors in accordance with the Contract Information on the Contract relates to the individualsrsquo willingness or lack thereof to change behaviors (See the Performance Contract included with the Assessment results Questionnaire = Assessment information is gathered through the use of a printed or computerized questionnaire Some of the questions asked therein relate to ASAM Criteria (See printed questionnaire) Results = Compu-Tools provide a broad range of assessment results that relate to several of the ASAM criteria (See Summary Page of Assessment results)
Compu-Tools Assessment results include data that will assist a Clinician in determining the appropriate ASAM admission criteria Specific information can be used to provide a quantitative analysis of criteria and therefore minimize subjective conclusions that might otherwise be necessary There are approximately 50 symptoms that can be categorized and counted in accordance ASAM criteria and Level of Treatment
Responses = A summary of client responses to questions is presented with Compu-Tools results Each response that is related to ASAM criteria is labeled with the appropriate Dimension and Treatment Level (eg 11 23 etchellip) (Count answers by Category)
![Page 10: Products and Services€¦ · Screening self-tests are also included in the Compu-Tools options.

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

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 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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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

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

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 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

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 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

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

AlcoholDrug (Teen) Assessment ltlt Back to iMR website
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

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

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 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 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 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

Contract = Performance Contract Conditions that are developed when an individual agrees to change behaviors in accordance with the Contract Information on the Contract relates to the individualsrsquo willingness or lack thereof to change behaviors (See the Performance Contract included with the Assessment results Questionnaire = Assessment information is gathered through the use of a printed or computerized questionnaire Some of the questions asked therein relate to ASAM Criteria (See printed questionnaire) Results = Compu-Tools provide a broad range of assessment results that relate to several of the ASAM criteria (See Summary Page of Assessment results)
Compu-Tools Assessment results include data that will assist a Clinician in determining the appropriate ASAM admission criteria Specific information can be used to provide a quantitative analysis of criteria and therefore minimize subjective conclusions that might otherwise be necessary There are approximately 50 symptoms that can be categorized and counted in accordance ASAM criteria and Level of Treatment
Responses = A summary of client responses to questions is presented with Compu-Tools results Each response that is related to ASAM criteria is labeled with the appropriate Dimension and Treatment Level (eg 11 23 etchellip) (Count answers by Category)

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

AlcoholDrug (Adult) Assessment ltlt Back to iMR website
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
