A court system refers a person who was found to be over the legal limit for drinking to Alcoholics Anonymous. 

A doctor who has a patient exhibiting symptoms of methamphetamine aIDiction refers the patient to an aIDictions counselor. 

A probation officer working with an individual who has a history of illegal gambling refers to the individual to an aIDictions professional specializing in gambling. 

Referral is a central aspect of the aIDictions profession. AIDictions professionals often both accept referrals and administer them. Few individuals truly begin therapy as a “blank slate.” AIDictions professionals need to know how to integrate referral information into the interview to maximize interview time and to tailor the questions to the individual’s unique history and background of behaviors. Like any profession, the aIDictions profession uses certain terminology in assessments settings to describe observable behaviors, which also aids the integration of referral information for desired results.
