What’s SBIRT Got to Do with IT? Integration for Clinical Practice
This workshop is not available for playback
Research has demonstrated that using the SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) model in various settings improves outcomes for clients with Substance Use Disorder. SBIRT involves rapid screening to assess substance use severity, followed by brief interventions to enhance awareness and motivation for change, and referral to specialized treatment for those requiring more extensive care. SBIRT has been shown to be effective in numerous settings including hospital emergency room departments, OB-GYN practices, primary care practices, detention centers, and public school and college health centers.
How might SBIRT be implemented in clinical practices? How might clinicians utilize SBIRT as a way to make a connection and link clients to Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment? This webinar will equip clinicians with the knowledge and skills to tackle excessive alcohol and drug use, utilizing the SBIRT model to address substance abuse issues in the communities we serve. By applying the SBIRT approach in clinical settings, clinicians can effectively screen for risk, conduct brief interventions, and connect clients to suitable resources for further treatment.
