The resources for the Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Technical Assistance and Resource Center’s (TARC) June 2024 webinar Cognitive Impairment in Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Neurologic Informed Care are now available and posted on the ACL website. The resources posted include the webinar recording (captioned and available on YouTube) and webinar slides.

During the webinar, John D. Corrigan, PhD, ABPP, introduced the new American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) expectations for the treatment of persons with cognitive impairment, including “Neurologic Informed Care,” as described in the new criteria. Implications for the identification of people in treatment who have a history of brain injury, as well as the use of accommodations to make treatment more accessible, were discussed.
