DSM IV Criteria
Generic Criteria for Substance Dependence
The Patient’s maladaptive pattern of substance
use leads to clinically important distress or
impairment shown in a single 12-month period by
3 more of the following:

Tolerance, shown by either of:
 Markedly increased intake of the substance is needed to
achieve the same effect or
 With continued use, the same amount of the substance has
markedly less effect
 Withdrawal, shown by either of:
 The substance’s characteristic withdrawal syndrome or
 The substance (or one closely related) is used to avoid or
relieve withdrawal symptoms

continued…






control or reduce substance use.
The patient spends much time using the
substance, recovering from its effects or trying
to obtain it.
The patient reduces or abandons important
social, occupational or recreational activities
because of use.
The patient continues to use the substance,
despite knowing that it has probably caused
physical or psychological problems.





Because of repeated use, the patient fails to carry out major

interpersonal problems, the patient continues to use the

never fulfilled criteria for substance
dependence.
Collateral Data
 Assessment Coordinator Directs
 Full Time Position
 Collects information from family, friends and
colleagues
 Coordinator meets with individual daily
 Must be able to ask the “right questions”
 Helps the individual reprocess any new
information
Therapeutic Community
 Housed in apartment complex with
other peers who are in treatment
 Attend groups and 12-Step meetings
 Attend 1st Step presentations
 Can “mirror image” off others in the
community
Additional Assessments
If Indicated
 Pain Evaluation
 Sexual Boundaries Evaluation
Indications for a 96-Hour
Assessment
 Unclear Diagnosis
 Determine Level of Care Needed
 Secondary Intervention
 Confirm Non-diagnosis
 Fit to Return to Duty
 Relapse Issues (not only use but behavior)
96-Hour Assessments
Advantages
 Thorough evaluation done in 4 days
 Therapeutic Community
 Teamwork vs. Splitting
Disadvantages
 Travel
 Cost ($5,000)
 Perceived conflict of interest
