About Us

mission, to lead with prevention and intervention for substance use and mental health concerns, guides all
agency programming. Our values of grit, integrity, and compassion are guideposts for all that we do in the
service of our mission. Each staff member operates from these to ensure the success of the agency. Peer
Assistance Services implements two statewide programs: Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to
Treatment (SBIRT) and the Peer Health Assistance Programs (PHAP). Please visit our website at

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment, or SBIRT, is an evidence-based early intervention
practice to identify, reduce, and prevent the use of alcohol and other substances. SBIRT calls for community
- based screening for health risk behaviors, including substance use. SBIRT is a statewide program that provides
training, technical assistance, and implementation support to health and mental healthcare providers,
healthcare organizations, and stakeholders. SBIRT manages a statewide campaign to increase public
awareness of the risks related to alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use and to reduce the stigma of seeking
help.

The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations, contracts with
Peer Assistance Services, Inc. to provide the Peer Health Assistance Programs. These programs are
statutorily created and funded by license fees. The programs provide assessment, referral, long-term case
management, and monitoring for health and mental health professionals with physical, emotional,
psychiatric, psychological, and/or substance use conditions affecting their practice.
