HealthTrust presents…”Medication-assisted Treatment: Management in the Emergency Department”
Opioid use disorder is still a public health crisis. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of pharmacotherapy in combination with counseling and behavior therapies in the treatment of substance use disorders. This combination has been proven to be effective in preventing relapse in these patients. The established pharmacotherapy options in MAT for opioid use disorder will be reviewed. Literature supporting the use of medications with off-label indications will also be explored as well as MAT pharmacotherapy options for alcohol use disorder.
