SBIRT Training & Implementation
Program.
Helping Providers Move SBIRT From Training to Practice
SBIRT — Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment — helps providers identify substance use risk, offer brief support, and connect people to appropriate care. ENVIVE helps behavioral health organizations, integrated care settings, provider networks, public agencies, and managed care organizations implement SBIRT through practical training, workflow integration, referral pathway support, and readiness-building for sustainable practice.
SBIRT Training & Implementation Model
ENVIVE’s SBIRT model can be delivered as a focused training program, an online or hybrid learning series, or a broader implementation support initiative.
The model may include:
SBIRT Training
Training on screening, risk identification, brief intervention, motivational interviewing, referral to treatment, documentation, and culturally responsive engagement.
Workflow and Readiness Support
Support for integrating SBIRT into intake, assessment, documentation, care coordination, referral, and follow-up workflows.
Referral and Warm Handoff Support
Guidance to help providers identify referral options; strengthen handoff processes; and connect individuals to appropriate behavioral health, substance use, or community-based services.
Implementation Tools and Technical Assistance
Practical tools, consultation, office hours, and implementation guidance to help providers move from learning to consistent practice.
