As drug overdose deaths reached record levels in the United States, evidence-based treatments for substance use remained significantly underutilized, a new study found.
The vast majority of drug overdose deaths involve opioids, and rates have surged in recent years. In 2021, more than 80,000 people died from a drug overdose involving opioids, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Unemployed adults and those living in non-urban areas were also less likely to receive the medication. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the US Drug Enforcement Administration granted flexibilities that allowed certain controlled medications – including those used to treat opioid use disorder – to be prescribed through telehealth. Those flexibilities have been extended through at least mid-November.
