Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based method for reducing harm and improving outcomes for patients with substance use disorders. This training will prepare participants to deliver SBIRT interventions in health care and other
settings.
The SBIRT course builds on a foundation of skills in Motivational Interviewing (MI): an evidence-based practice for helping people move effectively towards change. Adding MI to your skill set is an integral part of delivering SBIRT. All participants will complete six 3-hour sessions in Motivational Interviewing and two 4-hour sessions of SBIRT training.

1. Supervisory support. Supervisors must:
-approve attendance at all sessions
