New Clinical Guideline Helps Healthcare Professionals Take A Positive Step In Alcohol And Substance Use Prevention
In a significant step toward
establishing screening for alcohol and other drug use as a standard medical
practice, SBIRT Colorado (http://www.improvinghealthcolorado.org) has
partnered with the Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative (CCGC)
(http://www.coloradoguidelines.org/default.asp) to create and release a new
Guideline (http://www.coloradoguidelines.org/guidelines/sbirt.asp) for
Substance Use Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT).
Nearly 30 percent of Americans are not dependent on alcohol or other
drugs, but consume at a level that elevates their risk for causing
physical, mental or social harm. According to statistics from the National
Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, the State
of Colorado spends approximately $202 million annually on healthcare costs
due to problems related to substance abuse.
Through a brief screening conducted at healthcare facilities in 12
SBIRT Colorado locations throughout the state, healthcare professionals can
identify people with risky use early enough to interrupt progression to
more serious use and to connect patients who have substance dependence to
specialized treatment.
"Instead of waiting until risky alcohol and other drug use become a
major issue, the Guideline promotes an open discussion between doctor and
patient, empowering patients to take charge of their health," said Brie
Reimann, program director for SBIRT Colorado. "We hope that a SBIRT
screening will become as common as a blood pressure check at your annual
doctor's appointment."
The Guideline recognizes the critical role clinicians can play in
preventing injury, disease and more severe substance use disorders. An
online version of the Guideline is available free of charge to all
healthcare professionals at
http://www.coloradoguidelines.org/default.asp
"As with all our guidelines, the Guideline for Alcohol and Substance
Use presents essential information in a user-friendly format that can be
used by any healthcare professional," said Dr. Marjie Harbrecht,
medical/executive director of CCGC. "And beyond the systematic approach to
screen patients, the new guideline provides recommendations for management
based on the patient's risk level."
The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment of the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration awarded a grant in 2006 of $2.8
million annually for five years to the Colorado Office of the Governor to
implement SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment).
The Guideline was mailed to more than 5,000 clinicians throughout
Colorado and is available at
http://www.coloradoguidelines.org/guidelines/sbirt.asp. CCGC will host
education seminars and in-office trainings across the state to raise
provider awareness and encourage implementation of the guideline.
