This webinar helps build knowledge of The ASAM Appropriate Use of Drug Testing in Clinical Addiction Medicine document, which guides provider decisions about drug testing, as no universal standard exists today. It will allow providers, patients and their families, healthcare administrators, and payers determine clearly what is appropriate practice and what is considered outside the realm of appropriate practice in regard to drug testing in clinical addiction medicine. This webinar is primarily intended for addiction specialists and all providers utilizing drug testing in the context of the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with, or at risk for, addiction. It will also be useful for physicians and other providers concerned about the possibility of addiction in their patient population.
