Screening for alcohol problems

Alcohol problems occur along a continuum.  Most people don’t seek treatment until they are well along in the continuum and in acute need of medical care.  Screening makes early intervention possible.

Alcohol screening is conducted using standardized instruments such as the Alcohol Use Disorders Inventory Test.  It can be incorporated into wellness programs where questions about alcohol use should be nested with other general health concerns.  It also should be used when employees seek help for stress, depression, marital difficulties and other problems that often are alcohol-related.

Confidential online alcohol screening is available for USPS employees at www.eap4you.com.
