°µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria

Copyright and Permissions

°µÍø¸£Àûuses permissions agreements to authorize the use of ASAM’s intellectual property.

Overview

The °µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria® is the nation’s most respected, comprehensive, and widely used set of clinical standards for matching patients to the right level of care based on the severity of their disease and their multidimensional needs. The common language and universal standards set by The °µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria establish a framework to help payors and healthcare systems ensure they are offering the full continuum of care to meet patients’ needs.

However, when The °µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria is not fully implemented or used with fidelity, it can undermine patient care and compromise recovery. °µÍø¸£Àûhas a responsibility – to providers, payors, regulators, patients and their families – to ensure The °µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria continues to be equated with high-quality care proven to be effective in addiction treatment.

The following framework will be used to grant permissions for the use of ASAM’s intellectual property with disclaimers that help avoid confusion among patients, families, providers or payors. This process is part of a larger effort by °µÍø¸£Àûto support the implementation of The °µÍø¸£ÀûCriteria standards across the addiction treatment system.
