Summary

This study tests whether a brief screening and a telehealth counseling session in the emergency department can help people reduce their use of drugs or alcohol. About 650 adults who are at low or moderate risk for substance use problems will take part. The goal is to see if this approach lowers substance use and prevents future overdose.
