CE Course Description

Needs assessments and other research have shown that not all state Medicaid programs offer the full continuum of services needed by individuals with a SUD.  This CE course provides information about the preventive, treatment, and recovery services and the levels of care comprising the continuum of SUD care.  An overview of nationally developed guidelines for SUD treatment criteria, including provider and service standards for each level of care is also provided.
