Increasing the capacity of community pharmacy for screening, brief intervention and referral for treatment of pharmaceutical opioid use disorders

阿片类药物依赖是一个日益严重的问题。虽然有有效的治疗方法，但很少有需要治疗的人接受治疗。目前，药剂师在物质使用障碍方面接受的培训很少，但他们几乎与每一个可能出现阿片类药物问题的人都有接触。该项目将采取一种创新方法，让药剂师参与识别正在发展的阿片类药物问题，并将其转介治疗。

Pharmaceutical opioid dependence is a growing problem. There are effective treatments available, yet few people who need treatment receive it. Currently, pharmacists receive little training on substance use disorders, yet are in contact with almost every person likely to develop problems with pharmaceutical opioids. This project will take an innovative approach to involve pharmacists in identifying those developing problems with pharmaceutical opioids and referring them to treatment.
