阿片类药物滥用是一个巨大的公共卫生危机，正在影响妇女。2019年，在美国，15，000名女性因阿片类药物过量而死亡。阿片类药物使用障碍（MOUD）是一种有效的治疗方法，有助于戒断管理，促进阿片类药物使用障碍的恢复。然而，与OUD和MOUD作为一种治疗方法相关的耻辱感使一些患有OUD的妇女不愿寻求治疗。本研究分析了焦点小组数据，以了解接受MOUD的阿片类OUD女性的耻辱经历。结果表明三个主题：（1）“MOUD仍然是一种药物”，（2）应对MOUD污名的反应，（3）同伴支持在MOUD治疗中的价值。使用MOUD的妇女的治疗考虑因素包括家庭成员的心理教育和进一步将同伴支持纳入MOUD治疗的战略。
Opioid misuse is a massive public health crisis that is impacting women. In 2019, in the USA, 15,000 women fatally overdosed from opioids. Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is an effective treatment that facilitates withdrawal management which promotes recovery of opioid use disorder. Yet, the stigma associated with OUD and MOUD as a treatment keeps some women with OUD from seeking treatment. The present study analyzed focus group data to understand experiences of stigma among women with opioid OUD who were receiving MOUD. Results indicated three themes: (1) "MOUD is still a drug," (2) Responses in coping with MOUD stigma, and (3) The value of peer support in MOUD treatment. Treatment considerations for women using MOUD include psychoeducation for family members and strategies to further incorporate peer support into MOUD treatment.
