Plan sponsors interested in health equity may want to check out ASAM’s recommendations to policymakers. Group health plans can do a lot to facilitate access to evidence based care while these measures become public policy. Why bother? Well, in 2022, ASAM reports that 1 in 5 were diagnosed with substance use disorder and 1 in 3 Americans will meet the criteria for alcohol use disorder sometime in their lifetime. Let’s consider a DEI benefit strategy in 2024 that includes manager training, care navigation, access to centers of excellence, coverage of MAT medications and removal of formulary restrictions, workplace harm reduction including access to Naloxone and peer recovery services, early education about risks of use for all ages, and more. This is the hard work that sets apart the best and will inform effective public policies. #ASAM #deistrategy #recoverycommunity #behavioralhealthcare #substanceusedisorder #medicationadherence #Naloxone #harmreductionsaveslives

I applaud ASAM for acknowledging some of the challenges individuals face when seeking care for an addiction. ASAM’s recommendations to government leaders include: -Developing and regularly updating national model standards for state licensure of addiction treatment programs that meet the nationally recognized program standards in the most current edition of The ASAM Criteria; -Providing resources to help establish a core set of performance measures in addiction treatment, for the purpose of national endorsement and use; -Funding research on the role and efficacy of coercive strategies in addiction treatment that consist of social controls aimed at causing a person to take a prescribed action using force or threats, which includes patient perceptions and experiences and the impact of such social controls on their motivation, interest, and intent to pursue and engage in addiction treatment; -Establishing confidential mechanisms to investigate reports of unethical practices involving addiction care; -Ensuring fair and truthful advertising for addiction treatment programs on the internet, encouraging internet search engines to work with addiction treatment stakeholders to ensure that certification fee scales for participation in internet advertising are not unfairly prohibitive, and ensuring certifiers have well-established accreditation and certification standards; and -Facilitating and incentivizing addiction clinicians and treatment programs to accept public and commercial insurance. During our most recent Joint Commission Survey, we were asked to provide a list of alternative treatments to patients upon admission who may not be aware that the level of care we provide is one of many options. I find it refreshing that our regulatory bodies are working to broaden the understanding of the important work we do and make access to all care safe and equitable.
