Holmusk’s Post

Holmusk is changing the way we treat opioid addiction. In a recent peer-reviewed paper in the journal Addiction, researchers from Stanford University used Holmusk data to predict whether patients will continue their treatment with buprenorphine-naloxone, a medication used for opioid addiction, for at least six months. This research, funded by NIH and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, used Holmusk data to develop machine learning models that predicted treatment continuation. It achieved results comparable to predictions made by addiction medicine specialists. Holmusk’s NeuroBlu uses high-quality data generated from actual patient interactions. This kind of data is creating groundbreaking results in mental health, addiction, and beyond. That’s how Holmusk is charting the future of treatment.

Making #personalizedmedicine in #psychiatry a reality of today. While still largely in its infancy read this use case how #realworlddata and #machinelearning technics move boundries in #mentalhealth Stanford University and Holmusk joined forces to predict which patient is likely to maintain therapy to treat opioid addiction. Predicting patient behaviour allows health care providers to define personalized measures and patient support to improve treatment success, and quality of life.

The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) is the leading professional medical society representing physicians, clinicians and associated professionals in addiction medicine. ASAM is dedicated to increasing access and improving the quality of addiction treatment, educating physicians and the public, supporting research and prevention, and promoting the appropriate role of physicians in the care of patients with addiction. The ASAM Criteria for the substance use disorder treatment is the most widely used and comprehensive set of standards for placement, continued service, and transfer of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions. Most states use the ASAM Criteria as the foundation of their requirements for addiction treatment. The 4th Edition of the ASAM Criteria for adults was released in December 2023 and for the first time includes a chapter addressing treatment for individuals with cognitive impairment. John D. Corrigan, PhD, ABPP, was a member of the writing group for this chapter. In this webinar he will introduce the new ASAM expectations for the treatment of persons with cognitive impairment, including "Neurologic Informed Care” as described in the new criteria. Implications for the identification of people in treatment who have a history of brain injury, as well as the use of accommodations to make treatment more accessible, will be discussed.

Read an eye-opening piece in The New York Times by Maia Szalavitz on the challenges of managing pain in recovery. It's a personal and profound exploration of addiction, revealing how untreated pain can actually trigger relapse. It's clear that we need to understand more about how opioids interact with recovery and addiction. We must prioritize patient-centered care, balancing pain relief with the risks of addiction.

Addiction treatment has evolved significantly over the last few decades. With the change in substance use patterns comes the change in how we help individuals recover from substances. From understanding how opioids impact brain function and the side effects of drug use to understanding the effectiveness of early prevention and equipping individuals with the right tools for long-term treatment, we can thank much of the advancements in addiction medicine to our special guest this week. In this conversation, Dr Jason ZW Powers, MD, MAPP and George Joseph are joined by a true pioneer in addiction medicine, Dr. Mark S. Gold. Revered as "The Godfather of addiction medicine," Dr. Gold is a renowned Addiction Medicine Expert, Speaker, Author, Professor, and Researcher with extensive accolades and credentials. Since starting his career in translational neuroscience in 1972, Dr. Gold's theories have changed the field, stimulated research, and led to new treatments.

Thank you ADVANCED PAIN OF TULSA PLLC Pain of Tulsa, PLLC for your Advanced Pain of Tulsa has several providers that treat pain and addiction. For most patient’s addiction treatment requires chronic disease management that includes a combination of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions, administered in a variety of treatment settings and over a time frame sufficient to monitor for relapse, stability and remission.

Medication assisted therapy provides the most immediate and effective way to interrupt the cycle of ongoing illicit drug use in active addiction. Patients struggling with addiction need specialized physicians who can address the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of substance dependency and recovery. There is a not a one size fits all approach to treating addiction and personalized treatment planning is critical to connect patients with the right recovery resources and support to help them achieve and maintain long-term recovery.
