SASSI TRAINING  

Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI).  Purpose:  to
provide accurate, substantive, and brief psychological instruments for
those working in the helping professions to aid in the identification of
individuals with substance use disorders.

 

 

What is SASSI?

 

The SASSI is a brief & easily administered psychological screening
measure that helps you identify both adult & adolescents who may have a
substance use disorder.  The SASSI also provides information that is
useful in treatment planning.  The single page paper & pencil
questionnaire can be administered in individual or group settings.

 

With over 20 years in development & research, the SASSI has an
empirically tested overall accuracy of 93% for adults and 94% for
adolescents.

 

The SASSI includes subtle questions that have no apparent connection to
substance use, allowing identification of individuals with alcohol &
other drug problems even if they do not acknowledge substance misuse
themselves.

 

Who should attend?

Anyone who needs to screen for alcohol & drug related disorders.  The
SASSI is used nationwide by substance abuse counselors, educators,
medical practitioners, criminal justice professionals, drug court
personnel, employee assistance counselors and mental providers.
