Biopsychosocial Assessment. The youth and family (whenever possible) participate in the development of a comprehensive, individualized, strength-based, trauma informed, family-focused, culturally responsive assessment that informs and guides service delivery, discharge planning and aftercare services. Assessment is completed by a Therapist within 3 days of admission to the program. Assessments are integrated to address multiple life domains, assess for co-occurring mental health and substance use condition, and include a summary of symptoms and a diagnosis. Assessments are conducted face-to-face and include an assessment of natural supports and resources. Screening tools may be used as part of the assessment process.
Biopsychosocial Assessment. To support the use of the ASAM criteria and aid in matching individuals with the appropriate level of care, Michigan is requiring the use of an assessment tool that utilizes the ASAM criteria. Only the ASAM Continuum is approved to support assessing adults for SUD services. The GAIN I Core will be the only assessment allowable for use to assess adolescents for SUD services. All providers will be required to use the ASAM Continuum and GAIN I Core from October 1, 2021 forward. ASAM Continuum requires clinicians utilizing the system complete an 8-hour training, and also recommends staff have attended the ASAM “Basic” 2-day training. Refer to the MSHN SUD Provider Manual for further details. The GAIN I Core requires training and certification prior to implementation through either Chestnut Health Systems or a MSHN regional local trainer. Further, the provider is required to use the electronic GAIN Assessment Building System (ABS) to collect all GAIN I Core data. To that end, PROVIDER must complete the necessary steps to obtain organization and user permissions to access GAIN ABS. This includes completing Chestnut Health Systems GAIN ABS Request for Agency Set-Up, Data Use Agreement, and New User Agreement. For all approved biopsychosocial assessments, the PROVIDER must comply with MSHN and MDHHS data collection requirements. Commented [KJ15]: Finance
