Kimberly Honaker, Project Manager with the WVU Dept. of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, has worked extensively with the SBIRT program. She recently shared a letter from a man who was grateful for the early intervention provided by the program.
"On a Sunday evening as I lied in a hospital bed,
Kimberly offered me hope to overcome my
addiction to alcohol. Through this program, my counselor Holly Thomas led me through
twenty sessions that began as a picture of the past and became a pathway to sobriety.
I am forever grateful forever grateful to exchange the pain of abuse for the peace of serenity."
Great job SBIRT providers! |
