Intervening earlier with problem drinkers who are not yet dependent on alcohol
People who screen positive for serious alcohol problems typically fall into one of two broad categories: problem drinkers people with alcoholism. If they are identified early enough, problem drinkers may benefit from brief interventions.
Brief interventions can motivate problem drinkers to reduce the amount or frequency of their alcohol consumption, or change its context. They can be conducted in five or fewer counseling sessions lasting less than 20 minutes.
Brief intervention services are available through the USPS EAP.
