Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: SBIRT is an approach to substance abuse intervention and treatment that may be used to help individuals identify and address problems in life that arise from substance use/misuse or abuse. SBIRT stands for screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment. SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) Recovery is an abstinence-based model that employs the cognitive approach utilizing rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). The SMART Recovery model also asks individuals to examine their own actions and accept responsibility. The Stages of Change model is an approach to substance abuse intervention and treatment that helps clinicians recognize when individuals are ready to acknowledge the impact drug use has on their lives and their willingness to change behaviors that support drug use.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Methadone blocks the craving for and the action of opiates such as heroin. Methadone does not replace more potent drugs or act as a deterrent to other drug use. The doses of methadone are strictly regulated and administered by health professionals.
