Opioid Use Disorder Market 

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS 

The global Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Market size was valued at USD 2.88 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 3.11 billion in 2022 to USD 5.64 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -10.1% in 2020 as compared to 2019. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with opioid use disorder experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Opioid Use condition (OUD) is a complicated condition characterised by the compelling use of opioid medicines, even if the individual wishes to quit or if the drugs significantly impact the person's mental and physical well-being. Buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone are the three pharmacological groups used in the pharmaceutical therapy. These are the only drug classes authorised by the FDA in the United States. 

The number of prescriptions for painkillers, which commonly contain opioids, is expected to climb as the worldwide population of individuals suffering from chronic pain grows. When these opioid-based medications are used and the patient's suffering is relieved, the patient's reliance or addiction to these drugs rises. This addiction is dangerous since an opioid overdose can result in death or lifelong impairment of a person's normal psychological and physiological functioning. 

Several governments, like the United States, have put laws in place to successfully handle this condition in order to lessen the risk. These legislative reforms, together with the increasing number of product releases by big corporations, are expected to have a positive influence on the sector.

POST COVID-19 IMPACT 

Reduced Demand for Medications amid COVID-19 Pandemic to Negatively Impact Market Growth? 

Depending on the demand, the COVID-19 pandemic had both beneficial and bad effects on pharmaceutical firms. Certain pharmaceutical items saw a drop in demand as fewer individuals risked visiting healthcare institutions such as hospitals and clinics. To stop the spread of the coronavirus epidemic, the different governments ordered strict national lockdowns. As a consequence, patient visits to hospitals decreased dramatically. Non-essential medical services cancellation or delay impacted market development as well. 

On the other side, there was a noticeable increase in patients having opioid overdoses and relapses in the OUD market. However, well-known firms in the field, such as Indivior, saw a significant drop in product sales during this time. Sales continued to fall sharply as a result of Covid-19-related problems. As a result, the worldwide market saw a negative trend during the epidemic.

LATEST TRENDS 

Increasing Consideration of Buprenorphine Patches as an Effective Treatment Mode to Propel Market Growth 

The industry has lately seen an increase in the demand for buprenorphine treatment patches. These patches are regarded as an effective medication for the treatment of opioid use disorders. The numerous advantages associated with transdermal patches, such as ease of medication delivery and decreased discomfort, are customary and self-administered. Furthermore, these transdermal patches may be a viable option for individuals requiring round-the-clock opioid medication for opioid use disorder. 

In 2019, for example, WellSpan Health collaborated with York Opioid Collaborative to conduct a clinical study to develop a Lidocaine patch for the treatment of OUD. During the projected period, such collaboration is expected to boost treatment uptake. Furthermore, increased patient participation is expected to drive worldwide Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) market growth throughout the forecast period. 

DRIVING FACTORS 

Growing Opioid Addiction Cases to Augment the OUD Market Share? 

The worldwide population is today suffering from a variety of severe and chronic ailments, including pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other problems. To treat these problems, painkillers, particularly opioids, are used. Drug usage frequently leads to drug addiction in the patient. The patient is expected to have drug withdrawal symptoms as a result of their increasing reliance on these drugs and their sudden discontinuation. 

According to the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre's (NDDTC) Magnitude of Substance Use in India report published in February 2019, the prevalence of current opioid use is 2.06%, and approximately 0.55% of Indians are expected to require help for opioid use problems (harmful use and dependence). 

On account of these factors, the likelihood that patients will experience tragic outcomes, such as death induced by an opioid overdose, rises. 

Growing Focus of Government & Non-government Institutions to Support Expansion 

Another major driving reason driving market development is the growing involvement of governmental and non-governmental organisations in raising awareness about opioid overdose and associated consequences. The number of opioid addicts has substantially grown, prompting various organisations to take a more comprehensive strategy to combating the problem. Numerous countries have increased their efforts to support patients and reduce the effects of opioid addiction. 

For example, in March 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced financing for substance use treatment and prevention programmes in order to increase access to medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and prevent prescription drug misuse. 

Similarly, similar programmes are expected to encourage more people suffering from opioid addiction to seek treatment. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the worldwide market throughout the forecast period. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS 

Adverse Effects of OUD Drugs to Restrain Market Growth? 

The adverse effects of the medications used to treat opioid addiction are expected to stymie the market throughout the projected period. 

These medicines commonly cause muscular pains, vomiting, diarrhoea, bone/joint pain, respiratory difficulties, bladder discomfort, constipation, and stomach cramps. Furthermore, in severe situations of adverse medication response, the patient may suffer from depression and other psychological issues. 

The hazards connected with these pharmaceuticals have resulted in a warning from the US Food and Drug Administration, which has a negative influence on the drug class, lowering the adoption of medications in this form of treatment. 

For instance, in January 2022, the U.S. FDA warned about dental problems with buprenorphine medicines dissolved in the mouth to treat OUD and pain. Dental issues, including oral infections, cavities, tooth decay, and teeth loss can be serious and have been reported even in patients with no history of dental issues. 

Such factors might hamper the market growth during the forecast period to a certain extent.

In titan P!Luz AU, in the scenario that Amity, Hunter, and Lilith do manage to escape to the Owl House (pRolOng ThEiR GriEf yyeeeSS >:)), how would Eda even deal with this? She’d understand how serious the situation is, but let’s say Luz does come back RIGHT in the middle of the Owl House, now looks like a humanoid version of King, and Hunter won’t let go of her while she’s like I need to go kill Belos RIGHT NOW.

i just showered and spent the entire time still thinking about this timeline because i love SO MUCH that it's like. a hunter extended grief spiral to match luz's over in the worst timeline. WHEEEE BE MISERABLE ABOUT EACH OTHER !! YAYYY

so.

antics in the owl house.

lilith is transparently coming apart at the seams, given that she's just lost her status AND any chance to heal eda's curse. amity is responding to this by scrabbling even harder for any bit of control she can get, which typically involves yelling at hunter and/or lashing out at hooty with her abomination magic.

and hunter is.... well. hunter.

so. eda is like well. we're all gonna kill each other eventually!! ah well. the world's gone to hell. this might as well happen . I Fucking Guess

at first hunter responds very similarly to the way he does in ftf -- after amity refuses to let him go martyr himself, he THROWS himself into making plans to attack belos. however even with all his castle knowledge and belos knowledge and wild magic knowledge, it's Pretty Fucking Difficult to assassinate the emperor. particularly when you are Public Enemy Number One.

after frustrating himself about a dozen times in a row, hunter starts digging through all of eda's books on wild magic and deeply illegal dark magic and other bullshit. eda assumes it's for more emperor-killing business, until hunter comes to her all like

hunter: owl lady.

eda: ....yes??

hunter: you know things about curses, don't you??

eda: well. some. obviously. you want to curse the emperor?

hunter: no, not that. it probably wouldn't take. i want you to curse me.

lilith, who was previously pacing around the kitchen, zipping into the room: hello. What.

hunter: there are Apparently curses that can take away a person's emotions. that'll make it easier to work without distractions. let's be practical about this

eda: ....those curses aren't a painkiller, kid. you wouldn't be able to feel anything positive, either. that's not the kind of life you want to give yourself

hunter: i don't Need positive feelings to get this done. i'll be able to remember my pre-curse priorities without any feelings getting in the way. as far as i'm concerned there's nothing but upsides!

lilith: cursing someone isn't something to undertake lightly-

hunter: wow! there is literally no one else on this island whose opinion i care about less than yours. anyway. eda, are you going to help me or not.

eda: ....not when you just lost someone, i'm not.

hunter, voice breaking: no, wait, please. Please. listen to me. i need to stop thinking about her. i'll do anything. i'm open to other solutions, i just - please.

eda: well, i'm not using a cursed solution to your emotional problems. that's a non-starter. i CAN get you really drunk, though. do you want to get Really, Really Drunk??

lilith: EDALYN-

eda: WHAT. it's not like drinking can make him feel WORSE.

hunter: actually. yeah. yeah that sounds great. probably the most useful thing short of a coma right now, so.

amity, muddy and covered in goop, coming in from where she's been outside wrestling hooty for like the tenth time today: if hunter is getting drunk, i would Also like to be drunk. just so everyone knows.

lilith: .....titan help me. fine. Fine. pour me a glass too. it's not as though anything matters anymore!!!! haHA!!!!

Reblog if you struggle with loneliness, substance abuse, or a desperate need to escape London

[fentanyl-rabbits]

I'm so obsessed with opioids it's ridiculous I hate it I hate it I hate it but I still want it so so so bad.

[musical-chick-13]

It is because these people are stupid. Hope this helps.

[psycho-positive]

In a lot of circles, substance abuse is seen as shameful. That the people who go through it are bad people, dirty, poor, evil.

But substance abuse isn't any of those things. It's a mental illness.

When you say you support people with mental illness, when you say you care, when you say you're an advocate....

Don't you dare exclude substance abuse.

People need love and care and help regardless of what they're struggling with.

there are a lot of broken people out there

A sampling of the sort of things people have been saying to me the last 48 hours.

To be clear, they are MASSIVELY outnumbered by people are are good, kind, and decent. To be clear, these people show up in little groups, around ten or so at a time, as if they were sent by someone to be hateful and cruel.

I weep when I see this sort of thing. These people are so cruel and vicious. Someone told me he wished my dad had hit me more.

I mean, just think about that. I was a little boy, a child, just existing, and a grown man -- my father -- for no reason at all would grab me by the shoulders and scream in my face until I cowered and cried and begged to be left alone.

That was my reality. That's the terror I lived in, every day. And my mother's solution to my father's abuse was to just try harder to make him love me.

Okay? That's who these people are talking about when they mock my trauma, or the pain and terror I experienced; the sadness, loss, and grief I live with.

If I could change anything, I would reword what I said so people who have a vested interest in protecting a powerful celebrity couldn't tone police me and ignore the substance of what I reacted to. I would have taken the terrified child inside of me and soothed him before the adult I am spoke up in his defense they way nobody ever did for me when I was him.

Not gonna lie, it's disappointing that I've become the subject of mockery and the real issue of how violent and out of bounds Larry David's behavior and how insincere his "apology" was seems to be ignored while a lot of angry, hurting, cruel, emotionally stunted people mock and attack me.

I don't regret what I said, and I'd say it all again.

Even though this is the sort of thing people are saying to me:

See that? I made my father bully and abuse me, because something something the bible.

And all the rest.

What a messed up world we are in right now. Please, please choose to be kind.

Writing Notes: Emotional Repression

Emotional repression is all about avoiding emotional suffering.

It is a coping style used to hide and push away negative emotions.

Can be thought of as a defense mechanism, where people defend themselves from the negatives and focus instead on the positive aspects of who they are (Garssen, 2007).

It differs from emotional suppression, which is a one-off act of avoiding negative emotions, rather than a habitual coping strategy (Garssen, 2007).

Signs of Emotional Repression

There can be a range of signs that may indicate that you repress your emotions. These signs can be grouped into particular behaviors, ways of thinking, and ways of relating to yourself and others.

Patterns of Thinking

You believe negative emotions are something bad, weak, or embarrassing.

You believe negative emotions should not be expressed.

You believe that you never struggle with negative emotions and describe yourself as feeling ‘fine.’

Patterns of Behaving and Relating to Yourself

You ignore and push away negative thoughts and emotions.

You avoid and distract from your negative thoughts and emotions by turning toward numbing and escaping behaviors such as drinking and using substances, binge eating, watching tv, playing computer games, or overworking.

You find it difficult to recognize and admit that things in your life are harming you.

You find yourself at times erupting because of built-up emotions.

You focus more on your physical wellbeing.

Patterns of Behaving and Relating to Others

You generally do not like to be asked how you feel.

You put on a positive front in front of others; do not express negative emotions.

You get along well with people but struggle with emotional intimacy and close friendships.

You feel uncomfortable with and struggle to tolerate people who are emotional and express negativity, and you try to shift focus to the positive.

Just because a person represses negative emotions does not mean their emotions disappear.

People who repress their emotions tend to focus on their physical health and seek physical health solutions for emotional health problems (Abbass, 2005).

Just like a physical wound may fester and become infected if left untreated, the accumulation of unaddressed emotions can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. The increase in cortisol that comes with stress (Patel & Patel, 2019) can lead to changes in heart rate, motivation, and sleep (Cote, 2005).

As people who repress their emotions may struggle to cope, they may use unhealthy short-term coping strategies such as:

Overeating

Substance abuse

Medication noncompliance (Abbass, 2005)

There are links between emotional repression and the development of physical health problems such as:

Colds (Pennebaker, 1997)

Chronic pain (Beutler, Engle, Oro-Beutler, Daldrup, & Meredith, 1986)

Heart disease (Myers, 2010)

A lowered immune system that can increase the risks of developing other health conditions such as cancer (Weihs, Enright, Simmens, & Reiss, 2000)

Emotional repression may also restrict people’s ability to connect intimately with others in their life because of insensitivity to negative emotions and difficulty tolerating negative emotions and being around others when they are emotionally suffering.

Simultaneously, it may be difficult for individuals to be authentic.

They may resist opening up and being vulnerable to others, causing their relationships to be distant and avoidant.

My thoughts about the celestial family

After watching the last few episodes of the Sun and Moon and Lunar and Earth shows, I'm wondering how weak their family bond is.

Don't get me wrong, the shows are great! There is so much drama and can't wait to see what happens next 🤩

But I like to discuss the Celestia family.

I'm struggling to see social cues and can read situations wrong, but I kind of feel baffled and disappointed in the family.

From the outside, you see a found family with a strong bond and be there for each other. But the inside...

I try to find the right words here.

The family adopts people who did things wrong intentionally or unintentionally in the past into their family and friend group without being mindful of WHO they are/were. Lunar, Killcode, Molten, Clips, Nexus. And as soon they do something wrong again (which you should expect at some point because of their past and trauma) instead of seeing and work what was the cause of it, they reject them and talk about killing them. (Ruin is an exception)

Killcode, yeah he was evil but as soon he became good, Moon sacrificed himself for him. He was no friend or family. He got his own body and lived his life until he died.

Nexus, in my eyes, wasn't evil but was mentally very sick cause of the toxic relationship with the family. He needed to find his own personality but his family and friends were no help, treated him like a nice Moon. In the therapy sessions, he told them about the issues and I think the solution would have been to distance himself from the others and find his own personality. But by his madness, he chose to use dark star power (like taking substances) to feel in control. I think his family did kinda take his control away from the beginning, not just Ruin or Bloodmoon, the control to choose who he is, to build his own personality. But it got worse after Solar's death. And he was killed.

Now little Lunar, who had so much trauma, hanging out with gods who don't feel emotions like him. They can't help him with his trauma or say the right words which can easily cause misunderstandings.

He was seeking his purpose and got in contact with the wrong people. This is not surprising because the first person he looked up to was Eclipse, his abusive Ex-brother. People (not all of them) who grew up with abusive families tend to end up in relationships or hanging out with bad people because they feel a sort of comfort in them.

He got tricked and accidentally hurt Earth and instead of getting the whole picture, his family and friends were already discussing about killing him or not. What? There were so many red flags that he needed help with his trauma with Eclipse and Earth (not to offend her) was not the right "therapist" for that. It was just waiting to go wrong.

Also, has this something to do with what Dark Sun did? Suddenly every Sun or other is lashing out at the Moons. Lunar is a Moon, and now is imprisoned and his family discusses killing or rejecting him. 🤔

I think this family can easily adopt people into their group but they are not able to keep them for long.

If I understood here something wrong, then I apologize.
