Return to Zoom Map (Improve Treatment & Enable Recovery for People with SUDs) or Opioid Top-Level Strategy Map
Table of Contents
Background
- One of the best opportunities to prescribe maintenance medication occurs during the hours or days after the hospitalization for an overdose
- Maintenance medication is the only approach known to cut the overdose mortality rate by 50-70%[1]
- In one clinical trial, those offered immediate medication treatment were:
- Twice as likely as those who were simply offered treatment referrals to still be in treatment a month later[2]
- reduced their illegal opioid use from an average of five days a week to an average of just one[3]
Programs
Emergency Medicine Initiative
The Addiction Policy Forum will work with hospitals to develop tools to support effective post-overdose interventions. This project will ensure that health systems have the necessary protocols, assessment tools, and linkages between care and follow-up to turn an overdose into an opportunity for intervention and connection with treatment and recovery. Pilots underway with Mercy Health Systems and Berger Hospital in Ohio will produce open-source tools and protocols necessary to support emergency departments across the country in implementing interventions to help patients who overdose.[4]
