Substance Use Disorder Clinics

Identifying the Root Cause is Critical to Treatment

When it comes to battling substance use disorder, the question that should be asked of patients is “what are you trying to treat?” But often, substance misuse practitioners only treat the SUD because they lack the tools and resources to treat mental illness. Proem offers a new way for clinicians to identify criteria met based on the DSM-5, offering more data for the clinician to treat and monitor co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness in cases where it is necessary to treat both.

Use One Tool to Assess for Multiple Disorders

A wide range of psychiatric conditions – including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) – increase the risk of a SUD. With Proem, Substance misuse practitioners can utilize one platform that offers comprehensive decision support based on the most common conditions identified by the DSM-5, to assess and make clinical decisions on the SUD and the possible underlying conditions that may be a contributing cause to the SUD.

Screen Efficiently with Proven Accuracy

With an accuracy rating of 89%*, Proem’s exclusively licensed digital assessment provides clinicians with more comprehensive data so they can make a more informed diagnosis when presented. For SUD practitioners, this gives peace of mind that they have a comprehensive picture of their patient so they can treat the whole person, not just the drug or alcohol dependence.

Get Patients to the Right Treatment

Because substance misuse practitioners often lack extensive training in mental health, they need guidance to get their patients to the right resources and ensure SUD treatment doesn’t worsen other conditions. The Proem solution guides practitioners to the “next steps” for treatment based on presence and severity of symptoms to help patients with their SUD and mental illness if present.

Screen

Patients complete a comprehensive electronic screener to create a mental health baseline of the most common diagnosed conditions, enabling providers to address concerns before the moment of crisis.

Assess and Diagnose

Patients with mental health complaints and high-risk individuals complete one all-inclusive instrument online before appointments to help providers make the correct diagnosis and properly treat or triage patients.

Monitor

Automated diagnosis-specific monitoring tools provide a consistent point of view and follow patient progress in symptom improvement and functional capacity. Therapeutic alliance also available.

Prove Outcomes

Data from the care process is visualized on dynamic patient and management dashboards, enabling clinics to demonstrate that getting the diagnosis right delivers optimal clinical and financial results.

When it comes to evaluating individuals with complex conditions, it is important that we use evidenced-based resources such as Proem’s licensed digital diagnostic interview to accurately and precisely diagnose the specific condition or conditions that are driving the behaviors or presenting concerns. The specificity of the questions and the intuitive algorithms make it ideal for the type of work we do.
