Brief education: An opportunity to educate patients about low-risk consumption levels and the risks of
excessive alcohol use.
Brief intervention: Patient-centered discussion that employs Motivational Interviewing concepts to raise
an individual’s awareness of his/her substance use and enhancing his/her motivation towards behavioral
change. Brief interventions are typically performed in 3-15 minutes, and should occur in the same session
as the initial screening. Repeated sessions are more effective than a one-time intervention.
The recommended behavior change is to cut back to low-risk drinking levels unless there are other
medical reasons to abstain (liver damage, pregnancy, medication contraindications, etc.).
Patients with numerous or serious negative consequences from their drinking, or patients with likely
dependence who cannot or will not obtain conventional specialized treatment, should receive more
numerous and intensive interventions with follow up. The recommended behavior change in this case is to
either cut back to low-risk drinking levels or abstain from use.
Referral to specialized treatment: A proactive process that facilitates access to specialized care for
individuals who have been assessed to have substance use dependence. These patients are referred to
alcohol and drug treatment experts for more definitive, in-depth assessment and, if warranted, treatment.
The recommended behavior change is to abstain from use and accept the referral. Referrals to treatment
are delivered to the patient using the brief intervention model.
