SAMHSA Advisory: Comprehensive Case Management for Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Case management assists patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) by addressing other needs while allowing patients to focus on their SUD treatment and recovery. This Advisory is based on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 27, Comprehensive Case Management for Substance Abuse Treatment. The Advisory surveys case management principles and models, explores why SUD treatment providers might consider implementing or expanding case management use, and lists case management resources and tools.
