Addiction and social issues remain a persistent global challenge, demanding innovative, integrated, and sustainable approaches for effective intervention related to prevention, treatment, recovery and after care, rehabilitation and social reintegration. The growing prevalence of substance use, abuse and use disorders (SUD), particularly in disadvantaged and marginalized groups, underscores the need for comprehensive and sustainable intervention strategies to mitigate their impact at the grassroots level.

Inadequate substance use disorder (SUD) treatment resources for incarcerated women and men with substance use problems leads to a pressing need for services when they are released. Those leaving incarceration were almost 11 times more likely to die of an opioid overdose in the first year following release than the general population.

The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration and leading obstetrical and addiction medicine groups recommend prenatal care, medications to treat OUD, behavioral health therapy, and a cross-sector collaborative approach to address social determinant of health as best-practice treatment for pregnant individuals with OUD.
