__TOC__
SBIRT is an abbreviation for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment. SBIRT is "a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders." <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/sbirt/about</ref> It is a popular model for prevention and early intervention because all patients are screened regardless of an identified disorder. This allows healthcare professionals to reach a wider range of people - not just those who are seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) or behavioral health. This is especially critical for those who may be at risk for substance use disorder but may not meet established criteria. Additionally, SBIRT screens for all types of substance use, not just dependencies.


= Background =
This evidence-based, public health approach is a paradigm shift in substance-use treatment because SBIRT places risky substance use where it belongs—in the realm of healthcare. Routine screening helps identify and intervene with patients whose use puts them at risk for health issues. SBIRT focuses on identifying risky substance use to help prevent the onset of the more costly disease of addiction. It is similar to preventive screenings for chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Since SBIRT is an effective tool for identifying risk levels related to substance use and for providing the appropriate intervention, expanding the use of SBIRT provide opportunities for more people to access treatment earlier.


Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is used to provide care for substance users across the spectrum from early intervention to extensive specialized treatment. This represents a paradigm shift in substance-abuse treatment, which has historically focused on people that meet the criteria for substance abuse or dependence as defined by the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,'' Fourth Edition.
= Key Information =


The SBIRT model screens all patients regardless of an identified disorder, allowing healthcare professionals in a variety of settings to address a patient's behavioral health even when that patient is not actively seeking treatment or care for their behavioral health problems. While SBIRT is well-established as an effective intervention for risky alcohol use researchers and clinicians are just beginning to explore it as an intervention for risky drug use.<sup class="reference">[1]</sup>
Communities can expand the use of SBIRT by increasing public awareness of the approach and the value of identifying people who are at high risk or might be using substances. SAMHSA supports a research-based comprehensive behavioral health SBIRT model which reflects the six following characteristics: <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sbirtwhitepaper_0.pdf</ref>


By expanding the use of SBIRT and improving SBIRT practices, communities should be able to reduce the number of people who develop a dependency on opioids or Opioid Use Disorder. It should provide pathways for people to get appropriate help sooner--which reduces the potential negative impact of using opioids. SBIRT can be done in many different settings, and there are a variety of ways to do each element of SBIRT. This creates many opportunities to expand and improve SBIRT practices.
* It is brief. The initial screening is accomplished quickly (about 5-10 minutes) and the intervention and treatment components indicated by the screening results are completed in significantly less time than traditional substance abuse specialty care.


&nbsp;
* Screening is universal. The patients, clients, students, or other target populations are all screened as part of the standard intake process.


= Research on the Effectiveness of SBIRT =
* One or more specific behaviors are targeted. The screening tool addresses a specific behavioral characteristic deemed to be problematic, or pre-conditional to substance dependence or other diagnoses.


While the strongest evidence for the effectiveness of SBIRT relates to using it to address alcohol misuse, there is growing evidence in its effectiveness in accelerating people getting help with misuse of opioids.<br/> &nbsp; This [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/add.13675 2017 report summarizes five years of research on SBIRT]<br/> &nbsp; The research covered eleven multi-site programs in two cohorts of SAMHSA grant recipients were each funded for 5 years to promote the use and sustained implementation of SBIRT. They screened more than 1 million people. The programs used substance use specialists instead of medical generalists to deliver services.
* The services occur in a public health, or other non-substance use treatment setting.


&nbsp;
* It is comprehensive. The program includes a seamless transition between brief universal screening, brief intervention and/or brief treatment, and referral to care.


*Greater intervention intensity was associated with larger decrease in substance use.  
* Strong research or substantial experiential evidence supports the model. At a minimum, programmatic outcomes demonstrate a successful approach.
*Brief intervention and treatment had positive outcomes, brief intervention was more cost effective for most substances.  


<br/> Four factors influenced SBIRT sustainability:
According to SAMHSA, one of the benefits of the SBIRT approach is that it is easy to learn relative to other behavioral treatment techniques which require lengthy specialized training. As such, it can be implemented by diverse health professionals who work in busy medical settings -- physicians, nurses, social workers, health educators, and paraprofessionals. The first step in increasing the implementation of SBIRT is to embed it in standard care by delivering staff-wide trainings and making SBIRT a routine part of evaluations and medical health records. Physicians, especially primary care physicians, are overburdened by time, making it important to involve other staff in screenings. Other creative options include expanding types of screening, such as computer-assisted and peer-based screenings.


*Presence of a program champion
'''The SBIRT Process'''
*Availability of funding
*Systematic change
*Effective management of SBIRT provider challenges


<br/> Key Findings:
* Screening. The first step of the SBIRT process is screening. Ideally, it is used universally -- whether at an annual physical exam or other regularly occurring appointments with a provider or healthcare specialist. It uses a quick and simple method of identifying patients who are experimenting with or using alcohol or other substances. It can help identify individuals who use substances at risky levels, as well as those who are already experiencing substance use-related issues. SBIRT screening uses non-judgmental and caring tone. Patients are usually not offended by questions about substance use if asked in caring and nonjudgmental manner. Questions are normalized by embed them in other health behavior question and by prefacing questions with a statement that all patients are asked about substance use. Permission is requested. Fore example, “Is it OK if I ask you some questions about smoking, alcohol and other drugs?" Closed-ended questions are avoided, such as, “You don’t smoke or use drugs, do you?”


*SBIRT was adapted successfully to the needs of early identification efforts for harmful use of alcohol and illicit drugs
* Brief Intervention. After an initial screening, the individual may be referred for a brief intervention where a healthcare professional engages a patient in a short conversation, providing feedback and advice. According to SAMHSA, commonly used models for brief interventions treatment include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Community Reinforcement Approach, and Solution-focused Therapy. <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sbirtwhitepaper_0.pdf</ref>
*SBIRT is an innovative way to integrate management of substance use disorders into primary care and general medicine
*SBIRT improved treatment system equity, efficiency, and economy


&nbsp;
* Referral to Treatment. If the patient requires additional services, the healthcare professional may recommend therapy or treatment. SAMHSA recommends that referral to treatment is a critical component of the SBIRT process for patients who screen showing that they need additional services. It involves establishing a clear method of follow-up with patients who have been identified as having a possible dependency on a substance or in need of specialized treatment. The referral to treatment process assists a patient to access specialized treatment, select treatment facilities, and help navigate any barriers such as treatment cost or lack of transportation which could hinder treatment in a specialty setting. Models for brief treatment recommended by SAMHSA include Brief Negotiated Interview, Brief Counseling, FRAMES (Feedback, Responsibility, Menu of options, Empathy, Self-efficacy), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sbirtwhitepaper_0.pdf</ref>

'''Integration of SBIRT'''


SBIRT in Schools
Besides typical healthcare settings, there are many other places where professionals come into contact with people who may be at risk of substance use disorder.


Some states, like Massachusetts have been moving to significantly expand SBIRT in schools. <sup>[2]</sup><br/> &nbsp; A research report shared early findings:&nbsp;<sup>[3]</sup><br/> &nbsp; Training on using SBIRT in schools to address alcohol use:&nbsp;<sup>[4]</sup><br/> &nbsp; This article has encouraging updates and resources on using SBIRT in School-Based Health Clinics:<sup></sup><sup>[5]</sup><br/> &nbsp;
* '''Hospitals and Emergency Rooms.''' Individuals with SUD or occasional use regularly access emergency care. Utilizing the SBIRT approach with individuals seeking care can be beneficial. One study examined an SBIRT program in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania emergency rooms and measured Medicaid claims data. It concluded that SBIRT had the potential to reduce healthcare costs and that SBIRT use in the emergency department can be readily incorporated into existing practice settings. <ref>https://warmhandoff.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Safe-Landing-ED.pdf</ref>


&nbsp;
* '''Dentists and Oral Surgeons''' can play an important role in SBIRT. A study in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA)  showed that in the late 90s, dentists were the top specialty providers of immediate-release opioids, accounting for 15.5% of those prescriptions. <ref>https://jada.ada.org/article/S0002-8177(18)30419-7/pdf</ref> The American Dental Association recommends dentists and oral surgeons incorporate NIDA's "Screening for Substance Use in the Dental Setting" to help dental professionals recognize the signs of risky substance use and addiction. <ref>https://www.drugabuse.gov/nidamed-medical-health-professionals/science-to-medicine/screening-substance-use/in-dental-setting</ref>


<div class="mw-parser-output">
* '''Community Health Centers and Clinics.''' Community health providers offer excellent opportunities for early intervention with at-risk substance users and intervention for persons with SUDs and mental health issues. The state of New Hampshire was an early adopter of SBIRT in a community setting and documented increased positive outcomes for patients. They found that universal screening lowers the barriers to early intervention and treatment and integrated care. <ref>http://sbirtnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The-Power-of-Best-Practices-Launching-SBIRT-in-a-Community-Health-Center.pdf</ref>

* '''Schools.''' In response to the alarming number of adolescents (aged 12-17) who misuse prescription drugs,  <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/data/report/2018-nsduh-annual-national-report</ref> many states have moved forward to expand SBIRT in school settings. Schools offer a prime opportunity to identify, support, and redirect students in middle school and high school. One study found that universal delivery of school-based SBIRT to all students, not just substance-using students, provides two types of prevention. <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5753915/</ref> First, it can prevent the onset of substance use by motivating abstinent students to remain abstinent. Second, it can reduce substance use among students by educating them on consequences and by providing students who are ready to cut down or quit with specific strategies.

'''SAMHSA National Cross-site Evaluation.''' This report titled, "Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment: Implications of SAMHSA’s SBIRT Initiative for Substance Abuse Policy and Practice," examined eleven of SAMHSA's multi-site 5-year SBIRT programs. The report reflects a growing body of evidence demonstrating SBIRT’s effectiveness in creating positive outcomes for those with substance use disorder. It involved more than 1 million screenings and reviewed five years of research and concluded that SBIRT made the following improvements in treatment system equity, efficiency, and economy: <ref>https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/add.13675</ref>

* Integrates management of substance use disorders into primary care and general medicine.
 
'''This SAMHSA White Paper''' discusses the evidence supporting the effectiveness of SBIRT as a comprehensive approach and individual components of SBIRT for different non-medical behavioral health conditions. The report includes a literature review and addresses the question of what a model SBIRT program is, compared to programs which include or adapt components of the comprehensive SBIRT approach.  <ref>https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sbirtwhitepaper_0.pdf</ref>


== SBIRT in Community Clinics & FQHCs ==
'''NIDA Study.''' The National Institute on Drug Abuse funded research on SUMMIT (Substance Use, Motivation, Medication and Integrated Treatment). It looked at ways to implement MAT and behavioral treatment for patients with opioid and alcohol use disorders in a community health clinic. The project helped the clinic implement SBIRT and evaluated whether integrated collaborative care helped patients get the care they needed. The manual titled, “SUMMIT Study Protocol: Step-by-Step Procedures for Providing Screening, Brief Intervention, and Treatment Services to Primary Care Patients with Opioid or Alcohol Use Disorders,” is useful for researchers, primary care clinics, and policymakers providing treatment in primary care settings. The introduction provides a general overview of the study for readers, and the remainder of the manual is presented in the step-by-step instructional format used during the study. <ref>https://www.rand.org/pubs/tools/TL219.html</ref>

Introductory Paragraph

SBIRT is an abbreviation for Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment. SBIRT is "a comprehensive, integrated, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services for persons with substance use disorders, as well as those who are at risk of developing these disorders." [1] It is a popular model for prevention and early intervention because all patients are screened regardless of an identified disorder. This allows healthcare professionals to reach a wider range of people - not just those who are seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) or behavioral health. This is especially critical for those who may be at risk for substance use disorder but may not meet established criteria. Additionally, SBIRT screens for all types of substance use, not just dependencies.

This evidence-based, public health approach is a paradigm shift in substance-use treatment because SBIRT places risky substance use where it belongs—in the realm of healthcare. Routine screening helps identify and intervene with patients whose use puts them at risk for health issues. SBIRT focuses on identifying risky substance use to help prevent the onset of the more costly disease of addiction. It is similar to preventive screenings for chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and hypertension. Since SBIRT is an effective tool for identifying risk levels related to substance use and for providing the appropriate intervention, expanding the use of SBIRT provide opportunities for more people to access treatment earlier.

Key Information

Communities can expand the use of SBIRT by increasing public awareness of the approach and the value of identifying people who are at high risk or might be using substances. SAMHSA supports a research-based comprehensive behavioral health SBIRT model which reflects the six following characteristics: [2]

  • It is brief. The initial screening is accomplished quickly (about 5-10 minutes) and the intervention and treatment components indicated by the screening results are completed in significantly less time than traditional substance abuse specialty care.
  • Screening is universal. The patients, clients, students, or other target populations are all screened as part of the standard intake process.
  • One or more specific behaviors are targeted. The screening tool addresses a specific behavioral characteristic deemed to be problematic, or pre-conditional to substance dependence or other diagnoses.
  • The services occur in a public health, or other non-substance use treatment setting.
  • It is comprehensive. The program includes a seamless transition between brief universal screening, brief intervention and/or brief treatment, and referral to care.
  • Strong research or substantial experiential evidence supports the model. At a minimum, programmatic outcomes demonstrate a successful approach.

According to SAMHSA, one of the benefits of the SBIRT approach is that it is easy to learn relative to other behavioral treatment techniques which require lengthy specialized training. As such, it can be implemented by diverse health professionals who work in busy medical settings -- physicians, nurses, social workers, health educators, and paraprofessionals. The first step in increasing the implementation of SBIRT is to embed it in standard care by delivering staff-wide trainings and making SBIRT a routine part of evaluations and medical health records. Physicians, especially primary care physicians, are overburdened by time, making it important to involve other staff in screenings. Other creative options include expanding types of screening, such as computer-assisted and peer-based screenings.

The SBIRT Process

  • Screening. The first step of the SBIRT process is screening. Ideally, it is used universally -- whether at an annual physical exam or other regularly occurring appointments with a provider or healthcare specialist. It uses a quick and simple method of identifying patients who are experimenting with or using alcohol or other substances. It can help identify individuals who use substances at risky levels, as well as those who are already experiencing substance use-related issues. SBIRT screening uses non-judgmental and caring tone. Patients are usually not offended by questions about substance use if asked in caring and nonjudgmental manner. Questions are normalized by embed them in other health behavior question and by prefacing questions with a statement that all patients are asked about substance use. Permission is requested. Fore example, “Is it OK if I ask you some questions about smoking, alcohol and other drugs?" Closed-ended questions are avoided, such as, “You don’t smoke or use drugs, do you?”
  • Brief Intervention. After an initial screening, the individual may be referred for a brief intervention where a healthcare professional engages a patient in a short conversation, providing feedback and advice. According to SAMHSA, commonly used models for brief interventions treatment include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Community Reinforcement Approach, and Solution-focused Therapy. [3]
  • Referral to Treatment. If the patient requires additional services, the healthcare professional may recommend therapy or treatment. SAMHSA recommends that referral to treatment is a critical component of the SBIRT process for patients who screen showing that they need additional services. It involves establishing a clear method of follow-up with patients who have been identified as having a possible dependency on a substance or in need of specialized treatment. The referral to treatment process assists a patient to access specialized treatment, select treatment facilities, and help navigate any barriers such as treatment cost or lack of transportation which could hinder treatment in a specialty setting. Models for brief treatment recommended by SAMHSA include Brief Negotiated Interview, Brief Counseling, FRAMES (Feedback, Responsibility, Menu of options, Empathy, Self-efficacy), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. [4]

Integration of SBIRT

Besides typical healthcare settings, there are many other places where professionals come into contact with people who may be at risk of substance use disorder.

  • Hospitals and Emergency Rooms. Individuals with SUD or occasional use regularly access emergency care. Utilizing the SBIRT approach with individuals seeking care can be beneficial. One study examined an SBIRT program in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania emergency rooms and measured Medicaid claims data. It concluded that SBIRT had the potential to reduce healthcare costs and that SBIRT use in the emergency department can be readily incorporated into existing practice settings. [5]
  • Dentists and Oral Surgeons can play an important role in SBIRT. A study in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) showed that in the late 90s, dentists were the top specialty providers of immediate-release opioids, accounting for 15.5% of those prescriptions. [6] The American Dental Association recommends dentists and oral surgeons incorporate NIDA's "Screening for Substance Use in the Dental Setting" to help dental professionals recognize the signs of risky substance use and addiction. [7]
  • Community Health Centers and Clinics. Community health providers offer excellent opportunities for early intervention with at-risk substance users and intervention for persons with SUDs and mental health issues. The state of New Hampshire was an early adopter of SBIRT in a community setting and documented increased positive outcomes for patients. They found that universal screening lowers the barriers to early intervention and treatment and integrated care. [8]
  • Schools. In response to the alarming number of adolescents (aged 12-17) who misuse prescription drugs, [9] many states have moved forward to expand SBIRT in school settings. Schools offer a prime opportunity to identify, support, and redirect students in middle school and high school. One study found that universal delivery of school-based SBIRT to all students, not just substance-using students, provides two types of prevention. [10] First, it can prevent the onset of substance use by motivating abstinent students to remain abstinent. Second, it can reduce substance use among students by educating them on consequences and by providing students who are ready to cut down or quit with specific strategies.

Relevant Research

SAMHSA National Cross-site Evaluation. This report titled, "Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment: Implications of SAMHSA’s SBIRT Initiative for Substance Abuse Policy and Practice," examined eleven of SAMHSA's multi-site 5-year SBIRT programs. The report reflects a growing body of evidence demonstrating SBIRT’s effectiveness in creating positive outcomes for those with substance use disorder. It involved more than 1 million screenings and reviewed five years of research and concluded that SBIRT made the following improvements in treatment system equity, efficiency, and economy: [11]

  • Greater intervention intensity was associated with larger decreases in substance use.
  • Brief intervention and treatment had positive outcomes and were more cost-effective for most substances.
  • Adapts successfully to the needs of early identification efforts for harmful use of alcohol and illicit drugs.
  • Integrates management of substance use disorders into primary care and general medicine.

This SAMHSA White Paper discusses the evidence supporting the effectiveness of SBIRT as a comprehensive approach and individual components of SBIRT for different non-medical behavioral health conditions. The report includes a literature review and addresses the question of what a model SBIRT program is, compared to programs which include or adapt components of the comprehensive SBIRT approach. [12]

NIDA Study. The National Institute on Drug Abuse funded research on SUMMIT (Substance Use, Motivation, Medication and Integrated Treatment). It looked at ways to implement MAT and behavioral treatment for patients with opioid and alcohol use disorders in a community health clinic. The project helped the clinic implement SBIRT and evaluated whether integrated collaborative care helped patients get the care they needed. The manual titled, “SUMMIT Study Protocol: Step-by-Step Procedures for Providing Screening, Brief Intervention, and Treatment Services to Primary Care Patients with Opioid or Alcohol Use Disorders,” is useful for researchers, primary care clinics, and policymakers providing treatment in primary care settings. The introduction provides a general overview of the study for readers, and the remainder of the manual is presented in the step-by-step instructional format used during the study. [13]

Impactful Federal, State, and Local Policies

SAFE Solutions is an ever-growing platform. Currently limited information is readily available for this section. SAFE Project is dedicated to providing communities with the most relevant and innovative materials. We will continue to regularly monitor and make updates accordingly with community input and subject matter expert collaboration. Please check back soon.

Available Tools and Resources

SAMHSA offers a wide list of general resources for SBIRT with links to technical assistance, online apps, and other research. [15]

SAFE Project:

  • Bridging Prevention and Recovery (BPR): A Community Approach to Systems Change. This SAFE Project program, offered in-person and virtually, guides community leaders through an action-oriented model to systemically integrate prevention and recovery systems to strengthen programs and improve outcomes. BPR is a 3.5 day training program that culminates with 6 technical assistance sessions tailored to each community’s unique set of needs to support implementation and sustainability of joint prevention and recovery community projects.[16]
  • See the wiki titled "Expand SBIRT in Maternity Care Clinics" for more detailed information on the use of the SBIRT tool for mother's and their pregnancies as a method to prevent/intervene in substance use disorders.[17]

The Institute for Research, Education and Training in Addictions (IRETA) provides a toolkit to enhance the impact of SBIRT by integrating information from the process into the Electronic Health Records (EHR). [18] [19] This youtube provided by IRETA and SAMHSA's Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network [20] provides a good overview on implementing the integration of SBIRT data into EHRs. [21]

National Association of Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) provides a webinar that outlines a plan on how to work collaboratively with clinics in rural settings to build a SBIRT practice. [22]

The Massachusetts Toolkit is a step-by-step guide for implementing SBIRT. [23]

Technology-Supported Trainings:

  • IRETA provides online training for both professionals and the public, as well as free webinars and on-site prescriber education. [24]
  • NORC is a public policy and social research organization affiliated with the University of Chicago. They provide hosted Webinars on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) training includes resources for professionals, adolescent SBIRT, workplace/EAP, community stakeholders, and other addiction or behavioral professionals. NORC provides SBIRT education in both on-demand and live webinars. [25]
  • Kognito offers accredited technology-based training on SBIRT for youth using innovative simulations to evaluate the skills of those taking the training. [26] The program was developed in collaboration with NORC at the University of Chicago and has been adopted by more than 40 schools of health professions and state agencies. Additionally, the Kognito Conversation Platform[27] has an innovative behavior change model that integrates several evidence-based models and techniques, game mechanics, and learning principles. Kognito is listed in the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).

Technology-Supported Screening Tools make it easier for health professions to expand initial screenings while opening up a new avenue to engage patients and individuals. Screening tools may include phone apps, tablet-based screening, computer-administered screening, and interactive voice response.

  • SBIRT Oregon App The Department of Family Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University designed online resources and an SBIRT app for primary care and emergency medicine settings. The patient uses a web-based screening app for tablet, phone, or desktop, which quickly screens and assesses them for substance use and depression, converts answers into chart-ready notes, reads questions out loud for patients with low literacy, and delivers screening tools in English or Spanish. [28]
  • Screen for Opioid Abuse Risk (SOAR in Ohio, also known as OARS) was developed as a comprehensive self-administered measure of potential risk. It includes a wide range of critical elements noted in the literature to be relevant to opioid risk. The 43-question assessment is administered using a tablet and takes about 10 - 12 minutes to complete. The assessment is instantly scored with a report available to the prescribing physician. The report provides a summary opioid risk profile and a multidimensional assessment of risk factors. SOAR also provides depression and anxiety scores that can be used for SBIRT assessments and wellness visits. [29]
  • WellScreen integrates technology-based screening tools with the SBIRT model. [30]

Promising Practices

New Hampshire was an early adopter of SBIRT in a community setting. By incorporating SBIRT, New Hampshire found that universal screening lowers the barriers to early intervention and treatment, integrated care, and increased positive outcomes for patients. [45]

Massachusetts was one of the first states to require SBIRT in a school setting and is considered a model for school-based SBIRT. [46].

Other states now incorporating SBIRT in schools include New York, Pennsylvania, California, Florida, and Texas.

The School-Based Health Alliance is testing and refining the adaptation of school-based SBIRT into 17 health care settings in seven states. [47]
