In-reach is the education of community institutions, state agencies, and social services staff regarding the screening and referral of at-risk individuals to treatment programs for a clinical assessment. Early Intervention Early intervention is designed to screen, identify, and address risk factors that may be related to problems associated with substance use disorders and assist individuals in recognizing harmful consequences. Early intervention services facilitate emotional and social stability and involve referrals for treatment as needed.
