Abstract
In the current opioid epidemic, little is known about
differences in treatment structure for youth with opioid use disorder (OUD) and
youth with other substance use disorders.
This study analyzed baseline characteristics and outcome data
comparing youth who suffer from OUD vs. those with other substance use disorders
in an urban Denver, Colorado clinic.
A retrospective cohort review was conducted, analyzing clinical data
between February 2017 and March 2021. Two groups were created and compared:
those with OUD (n = 59) and those with other substance use disorders (n = 417).
The primary outcome variable was achieving a negative urine drug screen within 16
weeks of baseline assessment. We hypothesized that there would be no difference
between the groups in the primary outcome variable.
Youth with OUD were slightly older and had more co-morbid stimulant
use disorder. No difference between the groups was observed in achieving a
negative urine drug screen within 16 weeks.
A multimodal, generalized treatment approach yielded similar
outcomes for those suffering from OUD compared to those with other substance
use disorders. There might not need to be significant variances in treatment
approach depending on the specific substance use disorder.
