In honor of #NationalRecoveryMonth, we wanted to add to our community’s toolkit of support resources in a surprising—and useful—way. Introducing Ophelia’s free, downloadable “WithDRAWal” adult coloring book. In recent years, adult coloring books have surged in popularity as a therapeutic activity that promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and creativity. Think of it as a mindful distraction—one that Ophelia clinicians say is perfect for the early days of opioid withdrawal, where the goal is to find calm and comfort without dissociating. To create the book, we asked 1000 patients to share what makes them feel like themselves again. We used their inspiring responses as prompts for an AI tool to design intricate coloring pages. (Their quotes are featured on every page.) Get a copy for yourself, or share it with someone you know who might be struggling with opioids. #opioids #addictions https://lnkd.in/e66VNQqd

Tomorrow is International Overdose Awareness Day. Talking about #overdose deaths shouldn’t be so taboo. Let’s talk about it, so we can change it. More than 107,000 lives were lost to overdose last year alone. On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we continue our work to end overdose (by sharing prevention + life-saving treatment strategies). And we remember all the lives lost to overdose… The friends, sons, daughters, coworkers, acquaintances, and perfect strangers who were one of these things to someone in their life. #opioids #addiction #telehealth

Today, August 21, marks #NationalFentanylPreventionandAwarenessDay. For a long time, we’ve used the term #opioidepidemic. But it’s important to talk about fentanyl specifically, given its primary role in causing damage. - More than 107,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdoses in 2023, according to early data from the CDC. - Deaths involving synthetic #opioids, mainly #fentanyl, accounted for 74,702 of overall overdose deaths. - Fentanyl was responsible for a third of deaths among Americans 25 to 34 in 2022, according to a New York Times analysis of C.D.C. mortality data. - In 2023 alone, fentanyl killed more Americans than the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined (those three wars killed a little over 65,000 Americans combined). - Most of the fentanyl supply in the U.S. comes from Mexico, where it’s mass-produced using precursor chemicals believed to come largely from China.

For a long time, methadone was the only acceptable MAT in pregnancy. Now ASAM, ACOG & others recognize that buprenorphine is safe, and in fact, to basically continue whatever is working. But for a long time, there was a concern that naloxone could have adverse fetal effects, so the buprenorphine-only product (previously Subutex) was preferred to the buprenorphine/naloxone combination (Suboxone). However, a study released yesterday suggested the combination buprenorphine/naloxone product was as safe (if not safer) than the buprenorphine only product https://lnkd.in/eQF9-ZZ9

The people of Bucks County, #Pennsylvania have access to high-quality treatment with Ophelia— and thanks to our Medicaid contracts in the state, it’s treatment they can actually afford. We know that geography can have a staggering impact on the course and quality of the opioid treatment a patient receives, and it’s one of the reasons we continue to shine a light on parts of the country that are hit hardest by the epidemic. In Pennsylvania, for example, 32% of insured PA residents reside in a zip code with no publicly listed provider who can prescribe life-saving buprenorphine. “Drug deaths, particularly opioid-related deaths, continue to plague the greater Philadelphia area, including Bucks County,” said former Bucks County Coroner Meredith Buck. Bristol, Bensalem and Falls top the list of Bucks County towns with the most overdose deaths.
