In recent years, alcohol use disorders have been on the rise globally which is seen as a global issue. Alcohol consumption has many side effects and consequently various damages. In the past several years, various programs for the treatment of alcohol use have been introduced in the form of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Although medication is one of the common and effective approaches, it seems that this type of treatment alone is not sufficient and should be considered in other therapies that take into account the psychological, social, and environmental aspects of patients. One of the protocols that focus on motivation and change in clients with alcoholism is screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment. In the present study, with a systematic review of research backgrounds on the impact of screening, brief intervention, and treatment referral on alcohol dependents, global databases were screened based on related keywords, and papers were screened and their results extracted. The results indicated that screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment would improve referral and reduce alcohol use. Therefore, due to the effectiveness of the treatment model in improving the reduction of consumption and efficiency and the ability to implement this model in emergencies, patients with problems of alcohol abuse and dependence can be referred to appropriate medical centers.
