The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act represents a reinvestment in primary care, with a focus on prevention of illness and remediation of the impacts of chronic diseases through a behavioral health framework. Licensed social work professionals, specifically those trained in behavioral health, are a natural fit to help implement these new approaches. Though there are many evidence-based interventions that will be helpful, two that come from the field of substance abuse ought to be specifically beneficial: SAMHSA's SBIRT Model and Motivational Interviewing, developed by Miller and Rollnick. In response to the growing need for specially trained social work practitioners, the Social Work Program at Seton Hall University has developed the initial concentration of its MSW Program around these learning needs.
《患者保护与平价医疗法案》代表了对初级保健的再投资，重点是通过行为健康框架预防疾病和缓解慢性病的影响。有执照的社会工作专业人员，特别是那些接受过行为健康培训的人员，非常适合帮助实施这些新方法。虽然有许多循证干预措施会有所帮助，但来自药物滥用领域的两种措施应该特别有益：美国药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局的筛查、简短干预和转介治疗（SBIRT）模式以及由米勒和罗尔尼克开发的动机性访谈。为了满足对经过专门培训的社会工作从业者日益增长的需求，西顿霍尔大学的社会工作项目围绕这些学习需求制定了其社会工作硕士项目的初始专业方向。
