INTRODUCTION:

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is highly commorbid among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). PTSD among people with OUD is associated with severe opioid use, depression, and suicidality. Tanzania has seen a rise in opioid use over the past few years and the presence of PTSD among people with OUD predisposes patients to more negative impacts and impedes the recovery process. We aim to assess the prevalence and factors associated with PTSD among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) attending medication-assisted therapy (MAT) clinic in comparison to non-opioid...

Heather Stringer

Recent data from the U.S. highlights a concerning rise in substance use and related harms. In 2022, over 109,000 drug overdose deaths were recorded—a 54% increase since 2019. The majority involved illicit fentanyl, often mixed with substances like cocaine, methamphetamine, or xylazine, increasing the risk of fatal outcomes.

Experts also warn of the rise in high-potency cannabis use among young adults, with potential links to psychosis, severe vomiting episodes, and suicidal thoughts. Daily cannabis use in this group reached record levels in 2022.

Despite these alarming trends, innovative...

Background
Smoking is one of the top causes of preventable death and is linked to many serious health problems, including cancer and chronic diseases. Nurses can play a big role in helping people quit smoking by offering support through counselling, education, and mental health care. These nurse-led programs have been shown to increase quit rates. Training nurses to deliver these programs is important, and reviewing past studies helps us understand what works best.

Methods
Researchers searched eight major health databases between March 27 and August 1, 2024, to find studies on nurse-led...

Operating for 14 months in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, the initiative aimed to explore the effects and feasibility of this approach among individuals at risk of fatal overdose.

Methods
At the one-year mark, 43 club members completed a survey for this cross-sectional analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the perceived impact of membership on factors like drug use...

VCU researchers are developing a long-acting medication for opioid addiction

Published by / Citation
VCU

Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) have developed a new version of a medication for opioid use disorder that could offer longer-lasting treatment. Current medications for opioid addiction often require daily doses, but the new formulation of nor-levo-alpha-acetylmethadol (nor-LAAM) is designed to be taken once a month or less frequently. This long-acting medication has shown promise in reducing opioid use and withdrawal symptoms in rodent models. The goal is to provide an alternative to existing treatments like methadone and buprenorphine, which come with barriers such as...

Monico, L.B., Eastlick, M., Michero, D. et al. Overcoming barriers to traditional care delivery and pharmacy challenges: a qualitative study of buprenorphine, telehealth, and a digital therapeutic for opioid use disorder. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 20, 8 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-024-00631-9

Background
The opioid epidemic in the U.S. contributes to increased morbidity and mortality from drug overdoses, but barriers to traditional opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment limit access to care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Public Health Emergency (PHE) provisions relaxed in-person requirements for buprenorphine inductions, expanding telehealth options for OUD treatment. This study explores patients' experiences with a digital therapeutic telehealth program offering buprenorphine for OUD.

Methods
Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 participants from a larger...
