Screening, Brief, Intervention, and Referral to Treatment, or SBIRT , is an evidence-based early intervention practice to identify, reduce, and prevent the use of alcohol and other substances.

SBIRT calls for community-based screening for health risk behaviors, including substance use. SBIRT in Colorado is a statewide program that provides training, technical assistance, and implementation support to health and mental healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, and stakeholders.

SBIRT in Colorado manages a statewide campaign to increase public awareness of the risks related to alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use and to reduce the stigma of seeking treatment.

Peer Health Assistance Programs are statutorily created and funded by license fees. These programs provide assessment, referral, long-term case management, and monitoring for health and mental health professionals with physical, emotional, psychiatric, psychological, and / or substance use conditions affecting their practice.
