Return to Zoom Map (Improve Treatment & Enable Recovery for People with SUDs) or Opioid Top-Level Strategy Map
As first responders and others in communities are increasingly using naloxone (often Narcan) to reverse overdoses and prevent deaths, there is often a missed opportunity to connect the people who were revived from the overdose with the appropriate Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Typically, after receiving a lifesaving dose of naloxone, patients are released with only information and numbers to call if they’re ready to start their recovery. Regardless of whether a person survived due to administration of naloxone, or whether they were taken to an ER or hospital or if they survived the overdose without either of those, a comprehensive strategy should have multiple ways that help that person get into treatment.
Background
- One of the best opportunities to prescribe maintenance medication occurs during the hours or days after the overdose reversal or 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:
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]
