A decision analytic dynamic Markov model on the US population aged 12 years or older was used to project the number of fatal overdoses caused by any opioid between 2020 – 2029 and project the number of deaths that can be averted by prescribing restrictions, naloxone distribution, and expansion of MAT interventions. Based on data taken from 2010-2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the US Census, and the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions- III, the status quo, the...

Мы являемся свидетелями, возможно, самой большой проблемы общественного здравоохранения нашего времени. Однако это не означает, что проблемы общественного здравоохранения, которые существовали до пандемии , исчезли.
Опиоидная зависимость и связанные с опиоидами смерти продолжают наносить большой вред обществу.
В этой статье обсуждается, как эти две критические проблемы взаимодействуют и наносят ущерб особо уязвимым группам людей.
Автор описывает, как социальные детерминанты - условия, в которых люди рождаются, растут, живут, работают и стареют - влияют на уровень риска и общее...
A recent study, published by the National Drug Research Institute (NDRI) at Curtin University in Perth, has estimated that the illegal use of heroin and the misuse of pharmaceutical opioids is costing Australia around $15.7 billion and causing more than 2200 deaths a year.
This is a significant increase from the previous record that was collected in 2007.
Professor Steve Allsop commented:
“Extra-medical use of opioids is likely to result in adverse outcomes that require the use of health services, reduce work productivity, or result in contact with the criminal justice system,”.
The goal of treatment for opioid addiction or opioid use disorder (OUD) is remission of the disorder leading to lasting recovery.
Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.
This Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) reviews the use of the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications used to treat OUD—methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine—and the other strategies and services needed to support recovery for people with OUD.
