The Addiction Severity Index (ASI)

The Addiction Severity Index (ASI) is a widely used assessment tool that helps professionals evaluate the severity of addiction and its impact on various areas of a person's life. It gathers information about a person's substance use, mental health, medical status, employment, family/social relationships, and legal issues. By analyzing these factors, the ASI aids in identifying treatment needs and planning appropriate interventions. Its comprehensive approach ensures that treatment is tailored to the individual's unique circumstances, promoting a better chance of recovery and improved overall well-being.
