DRP sbirt initiative - detroit recovery project (DRP), as a leading certified community behavioral health clinic (ccbhc) within michigan is seeking the samhsa screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (sbirt) to implement screening, brief intervention, and referral to services (sbirt) with 1,650 adolescents and young adults (ages 12 to 21) at four pediatric-serving locations throughout detroit, highland park, and hamtramck in wayne county, michigan over five years. These locations include an educational setting (detroit edison corewell health school based clinic), a community center (durfee innovation society in detroit), and two recovery centers (calvin r. Trent health & wellness and the eastside health & wellness centers). DRP will also provide training to staff, peer recovery coaches, and paraprofessionals at partner organizations to conduct sbirt, resulting in an additional 100 youth and young adults served in year 4 and 250 youth and young adults served in year 5 of the initiative, increasing DRP's reach over time. The goals of the DRP sbirt program are: 1) to increase the number of adolescents and young adults (ages 12-21) screened in wayne county, who are moderate or high-risk for psychosocial or health care problems related to substance use; 2) to increase the number of behavioral health professionals, peer coaches and school personnel being trained in the detroit catchment area, to provide sbirt screening within their service populations, and 3) enhance the health outcomes of youth and young adults participating in the DRP sbirt initiative. DRP sbirt will provide trauma-informed sbirt, linkage to care and, wraparound services to individuals residing in the target community with the goal of reducing the impact of substance use disorder on youth, young adults, and their families.
