# Why SBIRT?

SBIRT is a highly flexible intervention that can be readily incorporated into a wide range of settings, including:

• hospital emergency rooms
• primary care settings
• community health centres
• non-profit organizations
• and more…

SBIRT provides a standardized and effective approach to check in with clients and provide personalized care.

It can be used as either a prevention strategy to help clients understand their potentially risky behaviours or help clients with highly risky behaviours get the care they desire.
