Dental School SBIRT Curriculum – Foundational Training for Substance Use Disorders-John and Bobbie Scene 3

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A dental visit reveals that Bobbi’s oxycodone use is causing cravings, withdrawal, mood changes, financial strain, and possibly worsening dental problems like cavities and gum disease. Bobbi wants to stop taking the pills, especially if her tooth pain improves. The clinician uses a collaborative, motivational approach, discusses pros and cons of drug use, and asks about readiness to change. They agree on a plan: referral to a specialized addiction treatment center for medication and counseling, plus immediate dental care at the clinic, with coordination between dental and addiction specialists. Bobbi is motivated and ready to begin treatment.
