Peer Assistance Services has teamed up with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) to provide no-cost training and technical assistance for Colorado Medicaid providers on screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT). SBIRT is an effective preventive health service to identify, reduce and prevent problematic substance use. The Medicaid project goals are to increase the statewide adoption of SBIRT to help prevent substance use disorder, to detect risky use and offer support, and to refer patients to substance use treatment who need it.

  • Wednesday, May 11 at 2:30–4:30 pm
  • Tuesday, June 14 at 8:30–10:30 am

All trainings will take place at Peer Assistance Services in Denver. Find more information and register here.
