Sep 12, 2017 by AMERSA

We ask authors to describe their impressions regarding the implications of their accepted work, how their findings will change practice, and what is noteworthy about the work.

The impact of sharing: The use of shared medical appointments to allow providers to increase treatment access for substance use and related disorders
H. A. Colon-Rivera, A. M. Daum & Sherry Nykiel
Substance Abuse Vol. 37 , Iss. 1,2016

Physicians represent the first line of treatment for these high risk individuals. Our aim was to showcase an already proven model of treatment in a new venue, utilizing the shared medical appointment for the management of opioid use and related disorders. This method not only demonstrates an effective and efficient way for providers to treat opioid use disorders, but also allows for more time to be spent with this high risk individual population.

The manuscript provides providers struggling with multitudes of individuals with opioid use and related disorders an opportunity to offer an effective care option.
