The opioid epidemic is a national emergency in the United States. To meet the needs of individuals diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) office-based opioid treatment programs (OBOT) are quickly expanding. However, social workers roles in OBOT programs are not clearly described. This paper will emphasize three roles social workers may fulfill in OBOT programs to combat the opioid crisis.
阿片类药物泛滥是美国的全国性紧急事件。为了满足诊断为阿片类药物使用障碍(OUD)的个人的需求,基于办公室的阿片类药物治疗方案(OBOT)正在迅速扩大。然而,社会工作者在 OBOT 方案中的角色并没有得到明确的描述。本文将强调社会工作者在 OBOT 方案中可能发挥的三个角色,以应对阿片类药物危机。
