7% (n=73) had previously suffered an overdose. Adverse Childhood Experiences surveys demonstrated a mean score of 4.6 (n=141), with 63.1% (n=89) having a score of 4 or greater. The percentages of patients retained in care at 1, 3, and 5months were 61.2%, 36.6%, and 27.6%, respectively.

The program serves a population with high rates of trauma and overdose. The program can serve as a model for treatment for this population.

Usual treatment for persons with opioid use disorders who are in prison is detoxification with referral to treatment after release but failure to engage in treatment and relapse is common. Starting medication treatment before release might improve outcomes.

Determine if administering extended-release injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX) before release (BR) from prison results in less relapse within the first three months after release than when offered by referral after release (AR).

The study randomized 11 persons who had an OUD, expressed interest in XR-NTX, and met study admission criteria to receive XR-NTX BR or at a local program AR, with continued medication and counseling available at that program.

Four-hundred and two persons expressed interest in the study, 222 consented, and the study randomized 146. Uncertainty about release dates resulted in a time lag between randomization and final disposition during which 60 of the randomized patients were sentenced to other facilities, withdrew consent, or b weeks after release. Dropout was high and the study detected no significant difference in relapse by month 3; however, the less-than-planned number of patients and missing data make this finding inconclusive.
Chronic pain is highly prevalent among people in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for opioid use disorder and is known to be an important contributor to treatment discontinuation and opioid relapse. Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) is one of the few interventions developed and tested as an integrated treatment to simultaneously address both pain and illicit opioid use; however, this study is the first to evaluate MORE as an adjunct to MMT.

Randomized individuals in MMT (N=30) received MORE plus methadone TAU (n=15) or methadone TAU, only (n=15). Participants in the MORE arm received their MMT, as usual, and attended eight, weekly, two-hour MORE groups at their MMT clinics. Participants in the TAU arm received their MMT, as usual, and group or individual counseling, as required by the clinic. TAU counseling consisted of relapse prevention, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and supportive treatment. TAU participants did not receive any mindfulness-based intervention. Participants completed assessments at baseline, post-treatment (i.e., 8-weeks post-baseline), and follow-up (i.e., 16-weeks post-baseline).

Participants in MORE evidenced significantly fewer baseline adjusted days of illicit drug use and significantly lower levels of craving through 16-week follow-up compared to TAU. Also, Participants in MORE reported significantly lower levels of pain, physical and emotional limitations, depression, and anxiety through 16-week follow-up compared to TAU. Conversely, participants in MORE reported significantly higher levels of well-being, vitality, and social functioning through 16-week follow-up compared to TAU.

MORE could be an effective adjunct to MMT, and larger trials are warranted.

To describe weekly changes in the number of substance use disorder treatment (SUDT) facility visits in 2020 compared to 2019 using cell phone location data.

We calculated the percentage weekly change in visits to SUDT facilities from the week of January 5 through the week of October 11, 2020, relative to the week of January 6 through the week of October 13, 2019. We stratified facilities by county COVID-19 incidence per 10,000 residents in each week and by 2018 fatal drug overdose rate. Finally, we conducted a multivariable linear regression analysis examining percent change in visits per week as a function of county-level COVID-19 tercile, a series of calendar month indicators, and the interaction of county-level COVID-19 tercile and month. We repeated the regression analysis replacing COVID-19 tercile with overdose tercile.

Beginning the eleventh week of 2020, the number of visits to SUDT facilities declined substantially, reaching a nadir of 48% of 2019 visits in early July. In contrast to January, torical overdose rate.Direct acting antiviral (DAA) treatment has made the elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) a realisable global public health goal and people who inject drugs are a key target population. This study investigates barriers and enablers to DAA treatment of HCV in general practice settings in Australia, from the patient perspective. Selleck DZD9008 Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 patients; of these patients, seventeen participants were currently on opioid agonist therapy, and four were currently injecting drugs. Thematic data analysis was undertaken and a personal, provider and systems framework was used to describe the barriers and enablers to DAA treatment. Results suggest a range of initiatives are required to support the uptake of DAA in general practice settings. These include the provision of formalised peer information and support, and increasing the accessibility of blood tests and liver assessment on-site. Further, there remains a need to address stigma and discrimination affecting people who inject drugs in community healthcare settings.Adolescents in residential level of care for substance-related problems have high risk of relapse following discharge. Parent engagement lowers relapse risk, but there are myriad barriers to engaging parents in residential treatment and continuing care. Parent SMART (Substance Misuse in Adolescents in Residential Treatment) is a technology-assisted parenting intervention that was designed to circumvent barriers associated with traditional, office-based continuing care interventions to better engage parents. This pilot randomized trial assessed the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of Parent SMART as an adjunctive intervention to adolescent residential treatment-as-usual (TAU). Sixty-one parent-adolescent dyads were randomized to Parent SMART+TAU or TAU-only. Thirty-seven dyads were recruited from a short-term facility and 24 dyads were recruited from a long-term facility. Those randomized to Parent SMART received a multi-component technology-assisted intervention combining an off-the-shelf online parenting program, coaching sessions, and a parent networking forum.
