Pharmacologic Guidelines for Treating Individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Co-Occurring Opioid Use Disorders
Pharmacologic Guidelines – Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders (COD) are common in behavioral health and primary health settings. These individuals frequently benefit from pharmacologic interventions, whether for mental disorders, substance use disorders, or both.
While principles for providing COD services establish a framework for prescribing pharmacologic agents to individuals diagnosed with COD, specific combinations of disorders have unique features that must be considered in developing pharmacologic strategies.
