SASSI Institute is proud to continue to offer its customers a free Clinical Help Line to assist professionals in the use and interpretation of Substance Use Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) screenings performed on their clients. The Help Line is available Monday through Friday (except holidays) from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (EST) at 800-697-2774 (Option 2). This dedicated service provides direct access to experienced SASSI-trained clinicians who can assist with questionnaire administration, scoring, and interpreting basic or complex client profiles.
Accurately identifying and addressing substance use disorders (SUD) is both critical and challenging. The SASSI screening tool can be an important part of that diagnostic process. Especially when working with clients who are highly resistant or in denial, clinical interpretation of screening results can often leave clinicians with uncertainty and questions. That is exactly where our free Clinical Help Line comes into play. Our experienced licensed clinicians can provide insights into how the individual SASSI scale scores could be interpreted and how this information could potentially be used to best benefit the client.
Our Clinical Help Line is a free confidential resource designed specifically to support professionals who use the SASSI tool with their clients. Utilizing this resource allows you to potentially learn more about your client and build an even stronger rapport with them by increasing their awareness and understanding of how their substance use may be impacting their life. Discussing the potential meanings underlying their individual raw scores on each of the SASSI scales can help clients better comprehend the significance of their behaviors and provide the professional and client the opportunity to collaboratively identify goals to address these issues.
The next time you review a SASSI profile and need a second opinion or clarification prior to discussing the results with your client, don’t guess—consult with the experts. Call 800-697-2774 (Option 2) Monday thru Friday from 1:00pm – 5:00pm EST to keep your clinical screenings accurate, informed, and highly effective. And remember, it is free of charge and there is no limit to the number of times per day or week that you can call to discuss your clients’ SASSI results! Give it a try!
