Brief Intervention

Brief intervention is a short, focused conversation aimed at helping individuals recognize and change unhealthy behaviors, often related to alcohol or substance use. Typically lasting 5 to 30 minutes, these interventions are conducted by healthcare professionals and involve discussing the negative impacts of the behavior, exploring motivations for change, and offering support and strategies to reduce or quit. The goal is to encourage self-reflection and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health, all within a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
