Adult Substance Abuse Initial Assessment Clinical Guideline Health professional screens at the initial visit and episodically thereafter using a structured instrument. Recommended instruments include: 1.Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) 2.Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) 3.(CAGE ) Substance Abuse Screening Tool; name is derived from the four questions of the tool: Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener Member has overt symptoms of withdrawal, or these are reasonably expected with abstinence If screening is positive, obtain a full history of drug and ETOH use If screening is negative and there are no suspicions of withholding information, then no further action is needed. However, in circumstances where there is reasonable doubt as to accuracy of the screening results, confirmation with a significant other is urged to gain confidence in the screening result Evaluate for appropriate level of care for detox management. Plan for compliance with HEDIS IET for follow up after detox is complete If screening is positive and results of evaluation confirm current DSM diagnosis of abuse or dependencies. Plan an initial visit for SUD within 14 days, and 2 follow-up visits within 30 days of the initial visit (HEDIS IET Measure) If screening is positive, but a current DSM diagnosis of abuse or dependence is not met, employ Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral for Treatment (SBIRT) for problem drinking Currently engaged in SUD t currently engaged in SUD Assess for compliance with and assess for Medication Assisted Treatment Assess for appropriate level of rehabilitation and Medication Assisted Treatment and refer Continue regular visits and if applicable, Medicated Assisted Therapy compliance Screen: Periodically and routinely screen patients for substance use as well as for substance use dependence. Screening requires only two to four minutes. Use the DAST to screen for drug use. This tool profiles the frequency of substance use behavior. Use the AUDIT-C alone or in combination with the CAGE to screen for alcohol use. AUDIT-C is designed to identify hazardous drinking and focuses on recent drinking behaviors. The CAGE is better at detecting alcohol dependence. These screening tools and scoring instructions can be found at http://www.projectcork.org/clinical_tools/ index.html a site developed and maintained by Dartmouth Medical School. Information about the Audit-C can be found at http://www.cqaimh.org/pdf/tool_auditc.pdf. Definitions: The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a tool used by more than 90% of America s health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Initiation and Engagement of Alcohol and Other Drug Dependence (IET) is a HEDIS measure. Members meet the measure by initiating within 14 days of AOD diagnosis and have two or more additional services with a diagnosis of AOD within 30 days of the initiation visit. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice used to identify, reduce, and prevent problematic use, abuse and dependence on alcohol and illicit drugs.
