Ohio Partners

Ohio SBIRT provides early intervention and treatment services for people struggling with depression and substance misuse. SBIRT uses a comprehensive public health approach to serve Ohioans who may be struggling or at risk of a substance use disorder or depression problem. Our goal at the Ohio SBIRT Project is that any time an Ohioan interacts with a medical, behavioral or mental health professional they will be appropriately screened and receive the necessary intervention.
