持续的大流行导致常规治疗服务突然中断。因此，已经存在的物质使用障碍的治疗差距可能会扩大。现在有机会扩大筛选和短暂干预的范围，以应对这一前所未有的挑战。它的简洁性、灵活性和概括性使印度国家银行能够应对与大流行有关的额外的系统性、结构性和态度障碍。可以修改履行机构的标准内容，以适应当前的情况。履行机构也可以作为一种工具，提出将感染风险降至最低的战略。从这一角度来看，我们预计在目前情况下扩大和实施履行机构面临的挑战，并提出了可能的解决办法。经过调整的印度国家银行可以弥合新冠肺炎期间物质使用障碍的治疗缺口。
The ongoing pandemic has led to a sudden disruption of routine treatment services. Consequently, the already existing treatment gap for substance use disorders is likely to widen. There is an opportunity to expand the scope of Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI) to meet this unprecedented challenge. Its brevity, flexibility, and generalizability have positioned SBI to deal with additional systemic, structural, and attitudinal barriers that pertain to the pandemic. The standard content of SBI could be modified to adapt to the current context. SBI could also be used as a vehicle to render strategies for infection risk minimization. In this Perspective, we anticipate the challenges of expanding and implementing SBI in the present circumstances and present potential solutions. SBI, with adaptations, could bridge the augmented treatment gap for substance use disorders during COVID-19.
