6 Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Consists of Screening: assess the level of use, reasons for use, and other important factors Brief intervention: engage the patient in conversation, consider using ruler to assess interest/willingness to change Referral to Treatment: based on availability and the patient s specific needs, interest, insurance.

7 Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) To date, there is strong evidence to support the use of MAT (usually methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone) in opioid addiction. Yet, there remains a stigma of replacing one drug with another and 25% of publicly funded treatment programs offer FDA approved MAT. MAT: Decreases withdrawal in the early phases of recovery Decreases cravings Decreases risky activities associated with obtaining medications or drugs The POATS study found that approximately 61% of patients taking buprenorphine-naloxone as MAT with standard medical management remained abstinent from opioids at 3 ½ years.
