Persistent poverty counties (PPCs) in the US (20% of residents in poverty 20+ years) have higher rates of SUDs. Treatment providers in PPCs provide higher quality care, but #Medicaid expansion played an important role. Learn more: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @cvandenberk.bluesky.social

A new U.S. study of over a million Medicaid enrollees, newly diagnosed with opioid use disorder, shows most are not receiving access to vital drugs within six months.
Findings, revealed ahead of looming budget cuts, show Black people are impacted worst ⚠️

In Medicaid patients with new OUD dx, methadone and buprenorphine were associated with >75% reduction in overdose risk. Only 30% received medication treatment.
Timely medication treatment is critical.

A commonly held belief is that the brain keeps maturing until age 25 and then stops, meaning that we should limit substance use until this timepoint. A new AJDAA paper dispels that myth and provides implications for #Cannabis use policy. Read it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My agency is so proud to be a part of this vanguard. We are one of only a few rural-based drug checking sites, opening since 2023 Jan. We are now closing in on 1,000 samples observed.
New FTIR-based software made #drug checking easier to use & expanded access: 2,600+ samples tested, hundreds of first-time users. This software can provide real-time reporting to communities & health agencies. www.tandfonline.com/doi/figure/1...

I often talk about how society judges people for not getting sober but so rarely offers treatment for those with trauma/ptsd and other co-occurring mental health disorders. It would be more effective and cheaper (in the long run) to do so.
