The deadline for submissions is February 25. Submissions should be for workshops or poster session presentations focusing the latest research, regulatory developments, and innovations highlighting current treatment initiatives. This year's conference is designed to deliver content that captures best-practices, as well as highlight new initiatives that have been developed in response to the vast, sweeping changes that have taken place in the field of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) through federal and state regulatory bodies. “As the wide-spread opioid epidemic continues to ravage our country and much of the world, our primary goal is to remain abreast of highly effective treatment initiatives that are critical to the success of our programs and patients,” wrote conference chair Joshua Nirella. “We also seek to educate and forge partnerships with other providers, and broader healthcare systems, judicial systems, social services systems, and government and policy makers, to improve access to quality MOUD care.” And Nirella said it's essential to get help from people with the knowledge, experiences, research, and expertise. “We are living in historic times in MOUD care,” said Nirella, who is regional director at Acadia Healthcare. “This is your opportunity to educate a broad audience on MOUD, provide cutting-edge information on the opioid epidemic, and exhibit your commitment to those individuals with a diagnosed opioid use disorder.” To submit a proposal, go to https://www.abstractscorecard.com/cfp/submit/login.asp?EventKey=JBRDKQEE</p>","PeriodicalId":100073,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Weekly","volume":"37 6","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researchers used data from CDC WONDER to evaluate legalization in each state, using the following three categories: recreational legalization, medicinal but not recreational legalization, and nonlegalization. In general drug overdose deaths have more than doubled among teens 14-18 years of age since 2019. The cause and effect relationship is not clear, but merits additional research, according to the authors of the paper, “Cannabis and the overdose crisis among US adolescents.” The findings were that recreational legalization, in particular, was associated with the ODs. The researchers found that states which implemented recreational legalization had death rate increases of 88% in 2019, 479% in 2020, and 115% in 2021 compared to nonlegalization jurisdictions.
