The Fiscal year 2003 SBIRT cooperative agreements are designed to
expand and enhance State substance abuse treatment service systems by:
-
expanding the State’s continuum of care to include screening, brief
intervention, referral, and brief treatment (SBIRT) in general medical and
other community settings (e.g., community health centers, school-base health
clinics and student assistance programs, occupational health clinics,
hospitals, emergency departments);
-
supporting clinically appropriate treatment services for nondependent substance
users (i.e., persons with a Substance Abuse Disorder diagnosis) as well as for
dependent substance users (i.e., persons with a Substance Dependence Disorder
diagnosis);
-
improving linkages among community agencies performing
SBIRT and specialist substance abuse treatment agencies; and
-
identifying systems and policy changes to increase
access to treatment in generalist and specialist settings.
