Abstract
Late last month, representatives of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) convened in Washington, D.C., to meet on three main topics: utilizing telemedicine to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) with medications, making methadone treatment more accessible for patients with OUD (meaning, remove opioid treatment programs [OTPs] as the sole prescribers), and covering residential treatment for addiction for Medicare patients.
上月底,美国成瘾医学会(American Society of Addiction Medicine,ASAM)的代表们在华盛顿特区召开会议,讨论了三个主要议题:利用远程医疗来治疗阿片类药物使用障碍(OUD)的药物治疗、让 OUD 患者更容易获得美沙酮治疗(即取消阿片类药物治疗项目 [OTP] 作为唯一处方者的地位),以及为医疗保险患者提供成瘾住院治疗。
