Fewer than 20% of Americans with opioid use disorder receive empirically-supported treatment. There is a critical need for innovative approaches to support expansion of evidence-based opioid treatment, particularly in rural geographic areas so impacted by the current opioid public health crisis. Doing so will require more diverse pathways into treatment, novel pharmacological tools, improved integration and efficiency among treatment modalities, and harm reduction when treatment is not available. In this invited commentary, we review exciting recent efforts to accomplish these aims as well as offer additional considerations for future clinical and research efforts to increase the availability of treatment for opioid use disorder.
接受循证治疗的阿片类药物使用障碍患者不足 20%。因此,迫切需要创新方法来支持扩大循证阿片类药物治疗,特别是在受当前阿片类药物公共卫生危机影响严重的农村地区。要做到这一点,就需要通过更多不同的途径进入治疗,使用新的药理学工具,提高治疗方式之间的整合和效率,并在无法提供治疗时减少伤害。在这篇特邀评论中,我们回顾了最近为实现这些目标而做出的令人兴奋的努力,并为未来增加阿片类药物使用障碍治疗的可及性的临床和研究工作提供了更多的考虑。
