Alcohol Brief Intervention

Alcohol Brief Intervention is a concise, structured conversation between a healthcare provider and an individual about their drinking habits. It usually takes place in a clinical setting and involves assessing the person's alcohol use, discussing its effects, and exploring ways to reduce consumption if necessary. The goal is to raise awareness about risky drinking behaviors and motivate individuals to make positive changes without requiring extensive treatment. These interventions are typically brief, lasting about 5 to 30 minutes, making them accessible and effective for promoting healthier choices regarding alcohol use.
