Opioid Agonist Therapy reduces mortality risk among people with opioid dependence

A new global review has found that receiving Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) is associated with lower risk of multiple causes of death among people with opioid dependence. (University of Bristol, UK, 02.06.2021)

Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) associated with lower risk of multiple causes of death for people with opioid dependence

A new global review has found that receiving Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) is associated with lower risk of multiple causes of death among people with opioid dependence. 

The review found that people with opioid dependence were less likely to experience overdose-related, suicide, alcohol-related, cancer, and cardiovascular-related mortality while receiving OAT. 

Researchers from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) at UNSW Sydney, University of Bristol and several other global institutions reviewed the relationship between OAT and mortality across type of drug, setting and participant groups from over 700,000 participants, which is six times the number of any other previous review.

Berlin. 15 Jahre Erhebungen zum sogenannten „Beikonsum“ - Was und wieviel konsumieren unsere Klienten* neben ihrem verschriebenen Substitutionsmedikament?

2005 ging es los – erstmals fragten wir das „Handlungswissen“ derjenigen ab, die im Notdienst Berlin e.V. die psychosoziale Betreuung von Menschen durchführen, welche sich in einer ärztlichen Substitutionsbehandlung befinden. Im Fokus unserer standardisierten Fragebögen stand und steht der zusätzliche Konsum psychoaktiver Substanzen neben dem jeweils verwendeten Substitutionsmedikament.

Die Befragung, die jährlich über einen gesamten Monat in allen relevanten Einrichtungen durchgeführt wird, zeigt längs- und quervalidierte Massendaten in einzigartiger Qualität, Umfänglichkeit und Differenziertheit. Über nun mittlerweile 15 Jahre sehen wir kurz-, mittel- und langfristige Veränderungen von Konsummustern, differenziert nach Alter, Geschlecht und Behandlungsdauer. Das ermöglicht es uns, fundierter und gezielter mit angemessenen Interventionen zu reagieren, wo immer dies erforderlich ist. (Notdienst für Suchtmittelgefährdete und -abhängige Berlin e.V., 16.03.2021)
