Pdf Summary

Individuals with substance use disorders, especially opioid use disorder, often have a history of trauma which increases their risk and severity of substance abuse. Trauma-informed care approaches that address the impact of trauma on substance use, such as therapy and support groups, can aid in recovery. In a case study, a 35-year-old teacher struggling with heroin use is recommended buprenorphine maintenance treatment. However, the patient does not follow the treatment plan, so it is necessary to have a discussion to understand her barriers to engagement. The next step is to assess her motivation and readiness for change, address concerns, and offer support and resources. Adjusting the treatment plan to meet her specific needs and goals, providing financial and counseling assistance, and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance are important for her treatment. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are also crucial.
