The impact of methamphetamine use on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment retention: a scoping review

CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that methamphetamine use has an undesirable impact on MOUD retention and results in an increased risk of treatment discontinuation or dropout. Strategies to identify concurrent methamphetamine use among individuals engaging in MOUD and educate them on the increased risk for dropout should be undertaken. Further research is needed to understand how MOUD retention among patients with concomitant opioid and methamphetamine use can be improved.PMID:37587456 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-023-00402-0
