COVID-19 could cause infection in persons with opioid use disorder, increase opioid overdose rates, reverse system-level gains in expanding access to medication for opioid use disorder, halt critical research, and prevent exacting legal reparations against opioid manufacturers. The authors call for urgent action to counteract these risks.
COVID-19 可能导致阿片类药物使用障碍患者感染,增加阿片类药物过量率,使扩大阿片类药物使用障碍药物治疗的系统层面取得的进展出现逆转,阻碍关键研究,并阻止对阿片类药物制造商进行严格的法律赔偿。作者呼吁采取紧急行动来应对这些风险。
