Addiction Severity Index (ASI)

The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a clinical assessment tool used to evaluate the impact of substance use on a person's life. It covers seven key areas: medical status, employment/support, drug use, alcohol use, legal, family/social relationships, and psychiatric health. By gathering detailed information through interviews, ASI helps healthcare providers understand the severity of a person’s addiction and its effects on various life aspects. This assessment aids in creating personalized treatment plans to address the individual’s specific needs and challenges, ultimately supporting their recovery journey.
