Abstract: CME Psychiatry Detection and brief interventionsDoctors often feel they have little to offer people with drug or alcohol problems with whom they have only brief contact in the general hospital setting.However, even brief contacts offer opportunities for interventions to reduce harm.Examples of possible interventions are given in Table 1. Overdose Alcohol and benzodiazepinesManagement is generally supportive.Flumazenil binds to central nervous system benzodiazepine receptors, competitively blocking the action of benzodiazepines at inhibitory GABAergic synapses, and can be useful in overdoses in which benzodiazepines are involved.
