Clinical Case Management

Clinical case management has the clinician assume responsibility for treating the client utilising interventions such as counselling, psychotherapy and/or pharmacotherapy while providing brokerage type services where needed.  There is little evidence available examining the effectiveness of this type of case management, and only one focussed primarily on people with substance use, including alcohol use problems.

Chapter Recommendation Grade of recommendation
5.3 Consider case management for people with moderate to severe alcohol use problems where extra support to access ancillary services, and maintain treatment engagement, may be required. B
