Discuss at least two benefits of using the SBIRT model in the screening and assessment process.
Provide a brief overview of an assessment/screening intake performed in your facility, whether formal or informal.
Indicate the type of personal, historical, medical, and behavioral information that was gathered.
When discussing your client within your posting, please indicate only your client’s last name initial (e.g., Ms. B. or Mr. S.).
