ASAM affirms pharmacists are needed in SUD treatment
After a spate of reports showing that physicians don't want to or can't prescribe treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) (see ADAW https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adaw.34212), the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has reiterated its July recommendations that pharmacists play a greater role in providing medications. In “The Role of Pharmacists in Medications for Addiction Treatment,” ASAM noted that pharmacists already help by dispensing buprenorphine. However, some pharmacies are reluctant to provide it, “possibly conflating harms associated with diversion of medications like oxycodone and alprazolam with buprenorphine's diversion risks,” ASAM wrote in the introduction to the policy statement. “Pharmacies are crucial to accessing and improving the utilization of medications for addiction treatment, however.”
