Available Services for Alcohol Consumption - Binge Drinking

Services include: ====Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention==== Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (A-SBI) is a preventive service, similar to a hypertension or cholesterol screening, which can occur as part of a patient's wellness visit. A-SBI works to identify individuals at risk for alcohol use problems, and is followed by a brief discussion between the individual and a service provider. A referral to specialized treatment is provided when necessary. A-SBI aims to increase a person's awareness of their alcohol use and its consequences. When alcohol is being consumed in an excessive amount, the individual is motivated to either reduce risky drinking or seek treatment.
