RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has published clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) since 2015. As ASAM's CPG work continues to develop, it maintains an organizational priority to establish rigorous standards for the trustworthy production of these important documents. In keeping with ASAM's mission to define and promote evidence-based best practices in addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery, ASAM has rigorously updated its CPG methodology to be in line with evolving international standards. The CPG Methodology and Oversight Subcommittee was formed to establish and publish a methodology for the development of ASAM CPGs and to develop an ASAM CPG strategic plan. This article provides a focused overview of the ASAM CPG methodology.
