Question: What percentage of youths receive medications for opioid use disorder shortly after diagnosis, and are those who receive medications early after diagnosis more likely to remain in care compared with those who receive behavioral treatment only? .
.
.
.
. Findings: In this multistate cohort of 4837 youths with opioid use disorder, 1 of 21 adolescents younger than 18 years and 1 of 4 young adults aged 18 to 22 years received medication for opioid use disorder within 3 months of diagnosis. Youths who received buprenorphine were 42% less likely to discontinue treatment, those who received naltrexone were 46% less likely to discontinue treatment, and those who received methadone were 68% less likely to discontinue treatment compared with youths who received behavioral treatment only. Meaning: Pharmacotherapy, a critical evidence-based intervention to address opioid use disorder, may be underused in youths with this disorder; those who receive medications shortly after diagnosis may be more likely to remain in care than youths who receive behavioral health services only.

Gentle reminder that interventions come when you're in danger of being consumed by an issue that you can no longer even see. I'm not judging when I give this reminder. I've been through enough interventions and now have had to give enough of them as a doctor that I just know that ☀️you are never going to feel like you need the intervention when it happens. That's the entire point.☀️ That type of shock / denial / anger is actually a sign that you need one. So when it comes, you just have to trust. You don't 👏have 👏to 👏agree👏 that it's the right thing in order to do it anyway. You don't have to agree that it's the right thing for it to work. You don't have to think you need treatment for it to help you. You just have to do what your family and friends and health professionals are asking you to do. If you do, you'll live. LATER, you'll know it was the right thing. I'm here for you if you need help❤️ #recovery #naturalrecovery #naturopathic #truerecovery #addiction #addictionrecovery #recoverylife #12stepstorecovery #12steps #12step #realrecovery #naturopathicmedicine #functionalmedicine #addict #addictionmedicine #intervention #interventions #chronicillness #chronicpain #painmeds #naturalnutrition #naturalpainrelief #help #orthomolecular #orthomolecularpsychiatry #naturalpsychiatry #functionalpsychiatry #naturaladdictionhelp (at Dr. Kate Henry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXTIbJAefY/?igshid=1va42y6ldldq9

⠀⠀
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of telehealth services has now become the norm for routine patient care. Psychiatry has long been a specialty in which telehealth services have been provided. Now, that has extended to the subspecialty of addiction medicine. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Although there is currently not many specifics regarding this bill, the United States Congress has proposed the Telehealth Response For E-Prescribing Addiction Therapy Services Act also known as the TREATS Act. If passed, this bill will do the following:⠀⠀
⠀⠀
■ Make any emergency actions passed during the COVID-19 public health emergency permanent thereby increasing patient telehealth access for substance use disorders via medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
■ Allow providers and patients to bypass the initial face-to-face examination requirement and e-prescribe controlled substances in MAT programs.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
■ Expand Medicare coverage for mHealth to include audio only phone calls and audio-visual/video visits. ⠀⠀

Recently, our Clinical Director, Mr. Michael Damioli, LCSW CSAT, was interviewed about remote access to buprenorphine and other opioid addiction treatments, for an article in the academic publication, Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Weekly. Read a portion of the article below:
Preserving access to buprenorphine via telehealth initiation over the long term “is in the best interest of consumers,” Michael Damioli, clinical director at Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, told ADAW. “It’s the natural order of things. The telehealth door has been opened.” Damioli said [its] leaders were compelled to launch the program during these uncertain times because of the impact the pandemic is having on drug use and overdose and because of a shortage of treatment programs providing OUD medication and supportive counseling in the Denver area...Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery just restarted its in-person [services] around six weeks ago, and Damioli is encouraging new patients to come in when they can. “There’s no substitute for seeing somebody face to face,” he said.

"What do you think caused your addiction? How does it change your body or mind? These questions can start the conversation about the patient's explanatory model of addiction. Eliciting a patient's explanatory model can go hand in hand with understanding a patient's readiness to change and personal goals."
The biopsychosocial model of disease encourages us to share knowledge and decision-making with our patients, beginning with their understanding of their disease.
Helen E. Jack, et alia, "Asking How Our Patients Understand Addiction," American Journal of Medicine, Volume 132, Issue 3 (March 2019): 269–271.

Addictions come in many forms . We traditionally think of alcohol or drugs but sex, gambling and eating addictions persist and affect many . While the addictions may be different the underlying causes of trauma, PTSD or adverse childhood events are a component of most #addictionmedicine #treatment #solutions# #hope (at Juneau, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHuFB2PAsm9/?igshid=iqnj9v6j3niu

The body remembers trauma. All it takes is a sound, touch, person, word or sight to awaken it. May is mental health awareness month. Be more mindful of the struggle. End the stigma.

Buprenorphine has been used internationally for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) since the 1990s and has been available in the United States for more than a decade. Initial practice recommendations were intentionally conservative, were based on expert opinion, and were influenced by methadone regulations. Since 2003, the American crisis of OUD has dramatically worsened, and much related empirical research has been undertaken. The findings in several important areas conflict with initial clinical practice that is still prevalent. This article reviews research findings in the following 7 areas: location of buprenorphine induction, combining buprenorphine with a benzodiazepine, relapse during buprenorphine treatment, requirements for counseling, uses of drug testing, use of other substances during buprenorphine treatment, and duration of buprenorphine treatment. For each area, evidence for needed updates and modifications in practice is provided. These modifications will facilitate more successful, evidence-based treatment and care for patients with OUD.
