    Description

    Peer Assistance Services, Inc., is a community-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit Colorado corporation. Our mission, to lead with prevention and intervention for substance use and mental health concerns, guides all agency programming. Our values of grit, integrity, and compassion are guideposts for all that we do in the service of our mission. Each staff member operates from these to ensure the success of the agency. Peer Assistance Services implements two statewide programs: Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment, and the Peer Health Assistance Programs.

    Screening, Brief, Intervention, and Referral to Treatment, or SBIRT, is an evidence-based early intervention practice to identify, reduce, and prevent the use of alcohol and other substances.
