Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment

Course Overview

 SBIRT is a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders. Practitioners learn how to screen people for substance use disorders and apply a brief negotiated interview to build motivation for change and link to appropriate services. This presentation will discuss the research and rationale for widespread implementation of SBIRT; teach participants how to use common screening instruments, describe, demonstrate and educate participants on how to perform a brief negotiated interview; learn how SBIRT could be set-up in a clinic and explore protocols for referral to treatment.

This training meets the WA Health Care Authority’s requirements to bill for SBIRT services
