A Conversation with a Goal
Team Approach to SBIRT
Barriers to TreatmentFear of stigma is a common reason for
not seeking treatment
“Vital Sign” We ask everyone about alcohol
Substance use can affect our health in a lot of different ways. When we make a point to ask everyone about their use, it not only allows us to let them know the risks, but it can help to normalize conversations around substance
use in the future.Only about 15% of people who meet
criteria for a lifetime alcohol use disorder report receiving treatment
Reducing Stigma Through Elevated Language
1. Words Matter Avoid terms like “addict”
and “junkie” Instead use “suffering with
addiction“
2. Avoid Stigmatizing Language Perform language audits Dispel myths and misconceptions
3. Authenticity Be Open, Connecting, Passionate,
use Active Listening
4. Use Clinical Terminology DSM-5 and/or ICD-10
Substance Use Disorder Mild, Moderate, Severe
Avoid previous designations Abuse and Dependence
5. Stigma and Suicide Unintentionally harmful terms:
completed, commit, successful Preferred terms:
Died of suicide Suicide Death Suicide Attempt

If we want addiction destigmatized, we need a language that is unified. www.recoveryanswers.org/addiction-ary/

PCMP identifies a BHP need
RN or identified referral specialist at the clinic fills out a referral form
with the reason for the referral INCLUDING what was
communicated to the patient and if medication management or
consultation is being requested. *SUD ROI is obtained from patient
for referral to BHP
Referral Form given to Point
Person at PCMP to fax to Point Person at BHP
Form is faxed to BHP
at: FAX #
BHP Point Person sets up an appointment
with the patient; notifies PCMP that the patient has an appointment. *SUD
ROI is obtained from patient through BHP.
Afterappointment,
