Purchase District Health Department Webinar: SBIRT Training
April 24 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
SBIRT is a public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for individuals at risk of developing substance use disorders (SUDs) and those who have already developed these disorders. SBIRT can be flexibly applied; therefore, it can be delivered in many clinical care settings. SBIRT has been adapted for use in hospital emergency settings, primary care centers, office- and clinic-based practices, and other community settings including in schools and social services, providing opportunities for early intervention for people that use substances and are at-risk before more severe consequences occur. It is a billable service in the medical setting.
