Integrating substance use peer support and screening brief intervention and referral to treatment services in the emergency department: a descriptive study of the ED leads program
CONCLUSIONS: This study describes the potential value and challenges of implementing a blended peer counselor and licensed clinician model in the ED to provide SUD services. While teams provided a high volume of referrals and the analysis of post-intervention treatment follow up is promising, the blended team model was not fully realized, making it difficult to assess the benefits of this combined service. Further research might examine patient outcomes among ED patients who are offered services by both a peer counselor and licensed clinician.PMID:38419101 | PMC:PMC10902983 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-024-00445-x (Source: Addicti...

Tools to implement measurement-based care (MBC) in the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD): toward a consensus
DISCUSSION: Five parameters were recommended to personalize medication dose adjustment: withdrawal symptoms, opioid use, magnitude (severity and duration) of the subjective effects when opioids are used, craving, and side effects. A brief rating of each OUD-specific parameter to adjust dosing and a global assessment or verbal question for side-effects was viewed as sufficient. Whether these ratings produce better outcomes (e.g., treatment engagement and retention) in practice deserves study. There was consensus that core signs and symptoms of OUD based on some of the 5 DSM-5 domains (e.g., craving, withdrawal) should be th...

Predictors of treatment outcome for individuals with alcohol use disorder with a goal of controlled drinking
CONCLUSIONS: BSCT was superior to MET in obtaining CD levels, and women were superior to men for the same outcome. The study corroborated baseline consumption levels as an important predictor of outcome in CD treatments. The study contributes with important knowledge on key treatment targets, and knowledge to support and advice patients in planning for treatment with a goal of controlled drinking.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The original study was registered retrospectively at isrtcn.com (14539251).PMID:38388959 | PMC:PMC10882804 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-024-00443-z (Source: Addiction Science and Clinical Practice)

"Take services to the people": strategies to optimize uptake of PrEP and harm reduction services among people who inject drugs in Uganda
CONCLUSIONS: Meeting the HIV prevention needs of PWID in Uganda will require lowering barriers to access, including integrated delivery of PrEP and harm reduction services and bringing services directly to communities. Additional training in providing patient-centered care for healthcare providers may improve uptake of facility-based services.PMID:38395940 | PMC:PMC10893723 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-024-00444-y (Source: Addiction Science and Clinical Practice)
