Video Summary

In this video, Jeannie Manube from New York-Presbyterian Columbia discusses Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for Substance Use Disorders in primary care settings. The goal of the program is to train healthcare professionals in evidence-based practices for the prevention and treatment of opioid use disorders and substance use disorders. The objectives of the module include identifying screening tools for substance use disorders, determining the severity of these disorders, providing follow-up appointments and referrals, and reviewing components of a brief intervention. Some statistics are provided, including over a quarter of adult patients reporting use of illicit drugs or misuse of prescription drugs, and over 100,000 Americans dying of drug overdoses in a single year. Good news includes the elimination of the data waiver program and federal limit on the number of patients that can be treated with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. The importance of screening is emphasized, as patients may not be aware of the risks and problematic use may go unidentified. The SBIRT approach is described, and different screening tools are provided. Brief interventions are discussed, with talking points for counseling sessions and the use of contracts for life to reduce riding risk. Treatment options, including medications and psychosocial therapies, are also mentioned, and recommendations for referrals and follow-up care are provided. The video concludes with information about resources and support offered by the PCSS mentor program and discussion forum.
