The impact of methamphetamine/amphetamine use on receipt and outcomes of medications for opioid use disorder: a systematic review

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, existing research suggests people who use methamphetamine/amphetamines may have lower receipt of MOUD, retention in MOUD, and opioid abstinence during MOUD. Future research should examine how specific policies and treatment models impact MOUD outcomes for these patients, and seek to understand the perspectives of MOUD providers and people who use both opioids and methamphetamine/amphetamines. Efforts to improve MOUD care and overdose prevention strategies are needed for this population.PMID:34635170 | PMC:PMC8504567 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-021-00266-2
