“Are you worried about going into withdrawal today?” Retrospective analysis of single-question, patient-centered screen for substance use and care linkage

Additional studies should assess barriers to screening and withdrawal treatment, and long-term outcomes of those who screen positive for withdrawal concern in the ED.
