27 Early Intervention for Risky Stimulant Use Interventions to Reduce Risky Stimulant Use 79. Clinicians should consider providing brief interventions to patients with any risky stimulant use using MI techniques to encourage patients to reduce or stop their use (VL-S). 80. Clinicians should be aware of some of the unique motivators of stimulant use and be prepared to discuss and suggest safer alternatives as part of brief interventions for stimulant use (eg, chemsex, weight loss, academic or work performance, staying awake; CC-S). Referral to Treatment for Stimulant Use Disorder 81. For patients who screen positive for risky stimulant use, clinicians should conduct or offer referrals for comprehensive assessment and treatment for potential StUD with linkage support, including warm handoffs (VL-S). 82. For patients who are ambivalent about referrals for StUD assessment or treatment, clinicians should consider using interventions to enhance motivation for treatment (eg, MI, MET; VL-S). 83. Clinicians should consider the use of peer navigators to link patients to StUD assessment and treatment (L-W).
