Strengthen the quality of your clinical care and prevent the unhealthy consequences of alcohol and drug use among your clients by implementing Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) services. Through our training and coaching, participants learn how to use evidence-based screening tools to determine alcohol and drug use risk levels, respond with a brief intervention and operationalize referral to treatment for adolescents and adults.
Our consultants can help you refine clinical workflows and advise you on using data collection and measurement to improve and promote your SBIRT services or support clinicians to hone their brief intervention skills.
The National Council uses a three-phase consultation approach to facilitate clinical and operational change for SBIRT to be a sustainable integrated care service.

The National Council also offers Youth Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (YSBIRT), which is designed to reduce the effects of youth substance use by equipping primary care and behavioral health providers with the tools they need to prevent it.
