ASAM Updates Definitions, Terminology, and Language
The ASAM Quality Improvement Council (QIC) is pleased to share the initial results of work conducted by the Terminology and Definitions (TAD) Subcommittee. The subcommittee is tasked with keeping current, the language, terminology, and definitions used by ASAM in order to support communication, research, and publication efforts. Definitions and terms updated by the subcommittee, and subsequently approved by both the QIC and the ASAM Board of Directors are released once they are approved. The first of these definitions are important in helping inform the perspective on medication use for the treatment of substance use disorders.
