With funding from NCDHHS, Project AWARE is able to offer SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) training via Appalachian State University at no cost to the first 300 applicants!
SBIRT
- is brief
- is comprehensive
- decreases the severity of drug and alcohol use (early intervention with SBIRT saves lives and money and is consistent with overall support for patient/client wellness)
- reduces health care costs
- is used in various settings (by doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, counselors and other service providers)
Users of this technique employ a variety of tools including AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test), DAST (Drug Abuse Screening Test) and CRAFFT (Adolescent Screening Tool). Motivational Interviewing is at the core of SBIRT training.
There are two components to this free training; online asynchronous modules and a synchronous workshop.
