This app offers healthcare providers the latest evidence-based guidance for treating opioid and alcohol use disorders (OUD and AUD) assisting in the initiation of medications such as buprenorphine and naltrexone. This is an essential tool for those starting patients on these medications, providing step-by-step clinical decision trees and valuable resources for managing not only AUD and OUD but acute and chronic pain for patients already on buprenorphine or naltrexone. With interactive tools, treatment protocols, and patient messaging features, this app empowers clinicians to deliver life-saving care while improving while improving treatment outcomes for substance use disorders.

More than 46 million people aged 12 or older (or 16.5% of the US population) met the DSM-5 criteria for having a substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year based on the latest data from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). However, only about 6% of people received any treatment for their SUD. Providing addiction treatment, including the use of FDA- approved medications and behavioral health therapies, has been shown to save lives and increase retention in treatment.

The interactive clinical algorithms in this app walk you through each step of the clinical decision- making process to help you care for patients with an OUD or AUD. The clinical algorithms are also available in PDF format for easy viewing along with ability to securely text message patient tools to get started on buprenorphine. Additionally, several other clinical tools and resources related to SUD are included.

BMC MAT QUICK START FEATURES:

CLINICAL ALGORITHMS
* Buprenorphine Initiation Guide: Decision trees for starting patients with an opioid use disorder on buprenorphine who are not currently physically dependent on opioids, opioid-dependent and not yet in withdrawal, and opioid-dependent and in active withdrawal.
* Initiation of Extended-Release Injectable Buprenorphine: Guidance for starting a patient on new weekly and monthly formation formulations of extended-release injectable buprenorphine.
* Naltrexone Initiation for Alcohol Use Disorder: Guidance for starting a patient on naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol use disorder.
* Naltrexone Initiation for Opioid Use Disorder: Guidance for starting a patient on naltrexone for the treatment of opioid use disorder. Includes strategies for managing opioid withdrawal during the required “washout period” prior to starting naltrexone and avoiding precipitated withdrawal.
* Pain Management While on Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder: Guidance for managing acute and chronic pain in patients already on buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
* Pain Management While on Naltrexone: Guidance for managing acute pain (both anticipated and unanticipated) and chronic pain in patients already on naltrexone for opioid use disorder.
* New! List of medication classes to assist in the management of opioid withdrawal symptoms.

CLINICAL TOOLS
* DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis of an opioid use disorder
* Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) to measure the severity of opioid withdrawal
* Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) to identify risky drinking patterns

PATIENT HANDOUTS
* Buprenorphine Initiation Guide: A guide to give to patients who are starting buprenorphine in the home or community setting.

This app provides clinical guidance based on the latest evidence-based recommendations for providers looking to start patients on buprenorphine or naltrexone for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Treatment for OUD with methadone is also discussed, as well as the use of naltrexone for alcohol use disorder (AUD). The app offers information on acute and chronic pain management strategies for patients already on buprenorphine or naltrexone. Guidance is also provided on medication classes to help manage acute opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Drug overdose deaths continue to rise in the United States, with more than 107,000 fatal overdoses in 2021. Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids—primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl—are driving this epidemic, along with psychostimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine.

Guidelines for office-based addiction treatment at your fingertips. Access the most up-to-date evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of opioid use disorder with buprenorphine and naltrexone. Information on pain management strategies for patients on OUD treatment also reviewed.

Of the more than 22 million people in the United States with a substance use disorder, less than 20% receive any treatment for their substance use. Providing office-based addiction treatment increases access to critical care and saves lives.

We’ve developed this guidance to help inform clinicians on the use of medications for opioid use disorder. Interactive clinical algorithms walk you through each step of the clinical decision-making process to help you care for patients.
