O.  Is Care Management Indicated?

 

OBJECTIVE

 

Identify patients with SUDs who can benefit from implementation of a care management plan.

 

ANNOTATION

 

If detoxification is unsuccessful, consider one of the following:

1.     A more intensive level of care for detoxification (e.g., inpatient) [Return to Box 11].

2.     Care Management, if detoxification is not indicated or acceptable to the patient [see

        Module C].

 

For some patients, repeated detoxification episodes may have a cumulative motivating effect in preparation for ongoing treatment.
