La sobredosis de opioides sigue siendo una crisis de salud pública en diversas comunidades. Entre 2019 y 2020, hubo un aumento de casi el 40% en las muertes por drogas, principalmente debido a los análogos opioides tanto de los estimulantes como de los opioides. Los medicamentos para el trastorno por consumo de opioides (MOUD, por sus siglas en inglés; p. ej., buprenorfina) son tratamientos eficaces y basados en la evidencia que se pueden administrar en entornos de atención primaria en consultorios. Investigamos las disparidades en la proporción de prescriptores nacionales que han...

El consumo de sustancias entre los jóvenes (de 12 a 24 años) es problemático dado el creciente riesgo de daños asociados. Más aún, los servicios de consumo de sustancias están en gran medida infrautilizados entre los jóvenes, ya que la mayoría solo accede a apoyo cuando está en crisis. Pocos estudios han explorado los comportamientos de búsqueda de ayuda de los jóvenes para abordar los problemas de consumo de sustancias. Para abordar esta brecha, este estudio exploró cómo los jóvenes perciben y experimentan los servicios de consumo de sustancias en Columbia Británica (BC), Canadá.

Cuando se usa en combinación con otras terapias para los trastornos por consumo de drogas, el neurofeedback (NF) se ha clasificado como "probablemente eficaz", según investigaciones recientes en la comunidad de personas con trastorno por consumo de opioides. A pesar de estos resultados alentadores, la gravedad de la crisis de opioides y el alto riesgo de recaída incluso con la terapia de mantenimiento asistida por medicamentos más eficaz, la NF sigue siendo una opción terapéutica poco estudiada. En este trabajo se examina la posibilidad de incorporar Alpha/Theta Neurofeedback en la...

Background
The long-running opioid epidemic and the more recent COVID-19 pandemic are two interrelated events with major public health implications for people who use opioids (OUD). The majority of studies on the interaction of these two public health concerns have employed pre-existing data to focus on community, state, or national patterns. Complementary qualitative research is needed to determine how persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) comprehend, experience, and navigate this unique period. The current study investigates people with OUD's perceptions and experiences as they negotiated...

The specific objectives of this study were as follows:

El movimiento Alcohólicos Anónimos (AA) creó el término "en recuperación" para expresar el requisito continuo de vigilancia para mantener la sobriedad (que incluye la abstinencia del consumo de alcohol) y evitar un retorno al consumo peligroso de alcohol. Este término, o identidad, puede ser adoptado por alguien que se considera en recuperación por el resto de sus vidas. Se considera que la recuperación implica ganancias en salud y bienestar, y se ha descrito como un proceso social en el que los individuos aprenden a absorber nuevas normas y valores como parte de una identidad orientada a la...
