报告了一例依赖芬太尼的年轻男子，他在监禁期间没有接受阿片类激动剂治疗。突出的是在拘留期间接触OAT的障碍，这加剧了寻求毒品行为、转移注意力和累犯的问题。讨论了对惩教保健的影响，包括利用远程保健服务在惩教机构最大限度地获得OAT的好处，这不仅将提高患者护理的质量，而且还将解决加拿大各地日益严重的阿片类药物流行问题。
Presented is a case report of a young man dependent on fentanyl who did not receive opioid agonist therapy (OAT) during incarceration. Highlighted are the barriers to accessing OAT in custody, which exacerbates problems with drug-seeking behavior, diversion, and recidivism. Discussed are the implications for correctional healthcare, including the benefits of utilizing telehealth services to maximize accessibility to OAT in correctional institutions that will not only enhance the quality of patient care but also address the growing opioid epidemic across Canada.
