This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medication Assisted Treatment continues to gain popularity as an effective option for treating Opioid Use Disorder. I decided to publish a patient/counselor workbook in 2014. At the time the book was written, there was little information available about appropriate counseling plans for MAT. Since publishing that workbook in 2014, my patients & I have come across multiple insights and observations, prompting the need to publish this 2nd edition. First and foremost: 1. Suboxone, Zubsolv and Bunavail, when appropriately used, are highly effective medications, and MAT is saving lives. 2. MAT works best when the treatment plan includes patient, physician and counselor collaborating in a team effort. 3. The delivery system needs improvement. 4. Some of the doctors, though well intentioned, are not experienced at working with opiate addicted clients and the unique set of challenges that they bring. Many MAT doctors are on a sharp learning curve. 5. Some well-meaning substance abuse counselors, frankly, have not kept up with all the changes and latest research in their own field. As a result, they have maintained one style fits all, outdated belief systems and strategies. 6. As a result, patients and society are not receiving enough consistent information about the disease of Opioid Use Disorder and how MAT maintenance and accompanying substance abuse counseling are supposed to work. I think that now, more than ever, there exists a great opportunity for addiction counselors, physicians, mental health providers and patients to come together and learn from each other. My experience is that MAT physicians and mental health providers have been very open minded to work with me and the opiate dependent client. Everyone working together as a team provides positive results. This book was developed with the hope that both patient and healthcare provider could use it as a guide to promote recovery from Opioid Use Disorder. My goal was to create a hands-on workbook that touches on numerous recovery topics to be addressed in counseling. Part one is a combination of evidenced-based recovery strategies along with helpful concepts and tools for maintaining ongoing recovery. Part two, which did not appear in the 1st edition of this, workbook introduces the reader to the concepts of Struggle Reduction. Since unhealthy anxiety is perhaps the most common trigger for slips and relapse, The Art of Struggle Reduction presents a unique approach for decreasing and managing anxiety.
Download or read book Clinician s Guide for Medication Assisted Treatment Or Mat written by Tom Diffenderfer and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clinician's Guide for Medication Assisted Treatment, provides valuable strategies and general knowledge to counselors working with patients on Suboxone or other Buprenorphine medications. The guide and accompanying patient's workbook, offer a solid plan of recovery for Opioid Use Disorder. Many if not most patients and counselors are fairly new to MAT and going through a major learning curve. Addiction treatment is rapidly evolving. It is our hope that these workbooks will help bring more consistency to Buprenorphine treatment programs. Suboxone programs vary from doctor to doctor and from counselor to counselor. There are many different opinions concerning when to taper, how to taper, and if to taper at all. These two books combine to form a cohesive counseling plan and recovery strategy for MAT patients on Buprenorphine medications. I work closely with Buprenorphine prescribers in developing and maintaining successful Suboxone programs. Much of what is contained in this guide is based on experiences and observations gathered from actual counseling sessions during the last six years. When doctor, counselor and patient work together, the results can be amazing.

This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opiate abuse continues to be a major health problem in America. Tom Diffenderfer is a licensed alcohol and drug abuse counselor (LADAC), with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families recover from opiate addiction. Tom is the owner of The Recovery Consulting Service private counseling agency in Murfreesboro, Tn. Recovery Consulting Service collaborates with opiate replacement medication prescribers to offer a unique recovery option for those suffering from Opioid Use Disorder. This workbook provides information about opiate addiction, and also about the process of recovery and becoming well again. "Addiction is a complex condition, however, recovery is achievable. The goal is to learn how to enjoy life again without abusing alcohol and drugs." Some of the topics addressed in the book are: Co-occurring disorders, cognitive reframing, enjoyable sober activities, relationships, triggers, relaxation for anxiety, recovery literature and boundaries. When you stop taking the opiates of your choice you have made a great first step in regaining control of your life. Counseling is a critical component of effective treatment.

This book was released on 2019-06-16 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opioid crisis in the United States has come about because of excessive use of these drugs for both legal and illicit purposes and unprecedented levels of consequent opioid use disorder (OUD). More than 2 million people in the United States are estimated to have OUD, which is caused by prolonged use of prescription opioids, heroin, or other illicit opioids. OUD is a life-threatening condition associated with a 20-fold greater risk of early death due to overdose, infectious diseases, trauma, and suicide. Mortality related to OUD continues to escalate as this public health crisis gathers momentum across the country, with opioid overdoses killing more than 47,000 people in 2017 in the United States. Efforts to date have made no real headway in stemming this crisis, in large part because tools that already existâ€"like evidence-based medicationsâ€"are not being deployed to maximum impact. To support the dissemination of accurate patient-focused information about treatments for addiction, and to help provide scientific solutions to the current opioid crisis, this report studies the evidence base on medication assisted treatment (MAT) for OUD. It examines available evidence on the range of parameters and circumstances in which MAT can be effectively delivered and identifies additional research needed.
Download or read book Treatment Improvement Protocol TIP 63 Medications for Opioid Use Disorder written by Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration/SAMHSA (U.S.) and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) reviews the use of the three Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD)—methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine—and provides guidance for healthcare professionals and addiction treatment providers on appropriate prescribing practices for these medications and effective strategies for supporting the patients utilizing medication for the treatment of OUD. The goal of treatment for opioid addiction or OUD is remission of the disorder leading to lasting recovery. Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. This TIP also educates patients, families, and the general public about how OUD medications work and the benefits they offer.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Download or read book Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment written by Committee on Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly three decades, methadone hydrochloride has been the primary means of treating opiate addiction. Today, about 115,000 people receive such treatment, and thousands more have benefited from it in the past. Even though methadone's effectiveness has been well established, its use remains controversial, a fact reflected by the extensive regulation of its manufacturing, labeling, distribution, and use. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the safety and effectiveness of methadone, as it does for all drugs, and the Drug Enforcement Administration regulates it as a controlled substance. However, methadone is also subjected to a unique additional tier of regulation that prescribes how and under what circumstances it may be used to treat opiate addiction. Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment examines current Department of Health and Human Services standards for narcotic addiction treatment and the regulation of methadone treatment programs pursuant to those standards. The book includes an evaluation of the effect of federal regulations on the provision of methadone treatment services and an exploration of options for modifying the regulations to allow optimal clinical practice. The volume also includes an assessment of alternatives to the existing regulations.
