Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a type of addiction disorder that is characterized by the compulsive use of opioids, such as heroin, morphine, and prescription painkillers. OUD is a serious public health issue, with an estimated 2.1 million people in the United States suffering from the disorder. OUD is associated with a range of physical and psychological health problems, including an increased risk of overdose, infectious diseases, and mental health issues. Treatment for OUD typically involves a combination of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and psychosocial interventions. MAT involves the use of medications, such as buprenorphine and methadone, to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Psychosocial interventions include cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-step programs. Companies in the OUD market include Indivior, Alkermes, Orexo, and Braeburn Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
