The full Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) model in Marijuana Brief Intervention helps you determine each client's severity of use, raise awareness of consequences, and provide an incentive for positive change. Marijuana Brief Intervention also includes a referral process that can be used when more intensive treatment services are appropriate. Highly customizable, the program can be tailored to meet individual participant needs through a one-session, four-session, or six-session format. Sessions address the following topics:

• preparing for change
• strategies for change
• managing withdrawal
• problem solving
• relapse prevention

Marijuana Brief Intervention is ideal for use in a variety of settings, including primary care, addiction and mental health clinics, colleges and universities, and correctional settings. This easy-to-implement program includes a screening tool, facilitator guide, referral form, reproducible participant workbook and journal, 24-minute video, and supplementary materials.
