Addiction Severity Index

The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a structured interview used by health professionals to assess the severity of a person’s addiction and related issues. It covers areas such as substance use, medical health, mental health, employment, legal problems, and social relationships. The goal is to understand the extent of challenges the person faces and inform tailored treatment plans. The ASI helps identify specific needs, monitor progress, and evaluate outcomes over time, providing a comprehensive picture of how addiction impacts different aspects of a person's life.
