Trainings:
The Global Appraisal of Individual
Needs (GAIN) is an evidence-based assessment used with
both adolescents and adults and in outpatient, intensive outpatient,
partial hospitalization, methadone, short-term residential, long-term
residential, therapeutic community, and correctional programs. It originated
in 1993 as a collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and policymakers
from over a dozen behavioral healthcare agencies to create a comprehensive
biopsychosocial assessment tool. It is a progressive and integrated
series of measures and computer applications designed to support a number
of treatment practices. The GAIN has eight core sections: Background;
Substance Use; Physical Health; Risk Behaviors and Disease Prevention;
Mental and Emotional Health; Environment and Living Situation; Legal;
and, Vocational. GAIN materials are available in hard copy and electronic
forms. (See https://www.chestnut.org/LI/gain
for more information.)
