Discerning Between Substance Use, Misuse, and Substance Use Disorders to Provide Appropriate Care and Support
Building off of the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) session, the PTTC is introducing a three-session virtual series Unpacking the SBIRT Model in Substance Use Prevention, designed to provide additional support to increase the provider’s capacity to deliver SBIRT in practice. Each session will take a closer look at a core component of the SBIRT model to help providers build on what was already learned and feel confident that they can integrate the concepts and skills sets of SBIRT in their prevention services. Discerning Between Substance Use, Misuse, and Substance Use Disorders to Provide Appropriate Care and Support is the first of the three sessions in this series.
Prevention services are key to identifying and addressing risky levels of substance use to offer the appropriate level of support. The spectrum of effective prevention strategies helps to identify and address different levels of substance use and the negative health effects that tend to result from risky behaviors. This interactive learning event will inform on varying degrees of substance use and substance use terms, effects on health, and importance of transparency in language.
