Opioids were involved in 75% of these related deaths. Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a constantly evolving public health crisis with potentially lethal consequences. In 2017, 900 adolescents began to misuse opioids every day. Nearly 10% of high school seniors reported using opioids nonmedically. Additionally, the incidence for hospitalizations for adolescents among children 1-19 years of age increased nearly 2-fold from 1997 to 2012. This data emphasizes the dangers associated with the increasing accessibility of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical opioids, particularly for adolescents. All three of the currently FDA approved medications for OUD have shown clear efficacy in decreasing all-cause mortality in adults. It is proposed that the same effects should be seen in adolescents but limited data is present. A recent study analyzed buprenorphine and naltrexone treatment amongst OUD in adolescents between 2001-2014; only 1 in 4 youth received any medication therapy within six months of diagnosis. Adolescents under 16 were the most likely to receive medications. However, even adolescents aged 17, for whom buprenorphine is FDA approved for, were less likely to receive therapy than adults over 18 years of age. The following case report aims to demonstrate how subcutaneous extended release buprenorphine treatment can be initiated effectively as an outpatient in an adolescent with OUD. It is critical that clinicians work to expand access to pharmacotherapy for adolescents struggling with OUD to ensure proper management and reduction of opioid-related overdoses.</p>","PeriodicalId":47493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Addictive Diseases","volume":" ","pages":"426-431"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139547238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
