Pharmacotherapy studies involving buprenorphine have rarely been conducted with U.S. community corrections populations. This is one of the first reports of buprenorphine treatment outcomes of adult opioid-dependent probationers and parolees.
This longitudinal study examined the 3-month treatment outcomes for a sample of probation and parole clients (N = 64) who received community-based buprenorphine treatment.
Approximately two thirds of the sample (67%) were still in treatment at 3 months post baseline. Furthermore, there was a significant decline in the number of self-reported heroin use days and crime days from baseline to 3 months post baseline. Although there was not a significant reduction in reincarcerations, there was no evidence that they had increased.
Given that buprenorphine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe, effective treatment for opioid use disorders, individuals on parole or probation should have the opportunity to benefit from it through community-based programs.
涉及丁丙诺啡的药物治疗研究很少在美国社区矫正人群中进行。这是关于成年阿片类药物依赖缓刑犯和假释犯丁丙诺啡治疗结果的首批报告之一。
这项纵向研究考察了接受社区丁丙诺啡治疗的缓刑和假释客户样本(N = 64)的3个月治疗结果。
大约三分之二的样本(67%)在基线后3个月仍在接受治疗。此外,从基线到基线后3个月,自我报告的海洛因使用天数和犯罪天数显著下降。虽然再次入狱的人数没有显著减少,但也没有证据表明其有所增加。
鉴于丁丙诺啡已被美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准为阿片类药物使用障碍的安全、有效治疗方法,假释或缓刑人员应有机会通过社区项目从中受益。
