  • Overview of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Care Clinical Guidelines
    Overview of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Care Clinical Guidelines: A Resource for States Developing SUD Delivery System Reforms April 2017 For the past two years, the Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP) has been providing a broad group of state Medicaid and behavioral health agencies with a variety of technical support resources to support the development of robust approaches for addressing substance use disorders (SUD). In addition, IAP has also been working directly with a small group of leader states on issues related to reducing substance use disorders, as well as with a number of states to assist with their planning and development of section 1115 demonstration proposals focusing on SUD.1 Through our close work with states under various IAP SUD activities, we have developed tools and resources such as this one designed to support state efforts to introduce policy, program and payment reforms appropriate for a robust SUD delivery system. The purpose of this resource is to support states in their ongoing efforts to introduce SUD service coverage and delivery system reforms by providing information about the preventive, treatment and recovery services and the levels of care comprising the continuum of SUD care. This document also provides an overview of nationally developed guidelines for SUD treatment criteria, including provider and service standards for each level of care. In addition, it provides useful tools and examples of state-based initiatives that can assist states in their efforts to ensure that care is delivered consistent with industry standard SUD treatment guidelines and that Medicaid beneficiaries receive the most appropriate services given their treatment and recovery needs.

TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION. POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION. Psychogenic diseases are a large and clinically varied group of diseases resulting from an effect of acute or long-term psychic traumas, which manifest themselves by both mental and somatoneurological disorders and, as a rule, are reversible. Psychogenic diseases are caused by a psychic trauma, i.e. some events which affect significant aspects of existence of the human being and result in deep psychological feelings. These may be subjectively significant events, i.e. those which are pathogenic for the majority of people. Besides, the psyche may be traumatized by conventionally pathogenic events, which cause feelings in an individual because of his peculiar hierarchy of values. Unfavorable psychogenic effects on the human being cause stress in him, i.e. a nonspecific reaction at the physiological, psychological and behavioural levels. Stress may exert some positive, mobilizing influence, but may result in disorganization of the organism activity. The stress, which exerts a negative influence and causes various disturbances and even diseases, is termed distress. Classification of neurotic disorders I.

    Bioethical differences between drug addiction treatment professionals inside and outside the Russian Federation Mendelevich Mendelevich Harm Reduction Journal 2011, 8:15 http://www.harmreductionjournal.com/content/8/1/15 (10 June 2011) Mendelevich Harm Reduction Journal 2011, 8:15 http://www.harmreductionjournal.com/content/8/1/15 RESEARCH Open Access Bioethical differences between drug addiction treatment professionals inside and outside the Russian Federation Vladimir D Mendelevich Abstract This article provides an overview of a sociological study of the views of 338 drug addiction treatment professionals. A comparison is drawn between the bioethical approaches of Russian and foreign experts from 18 countries. It is concluded that the bioethical priorities of Russian and foreign experts differ significantly. Differences involve attitudes toward confidentiality, informed consent, compulsory treatment, opioid agonist therapy, mandatory testing of students for psychoactive substances, the prevention of mental patients from having children, harm reduction programs (needle and syringe exchange), euthanasia, and abortion. It is proposed that the cardinal dissimilarity between models for providing drug treatment in the Russian Federation versus the majority of the countries of the world stems from differing bioethical attitudes among drug addiction treatment experts.
