Abstract:
Although alcoholism is often regarded as an intractable disorder that requires intensive treatment, studies of the natural history of alcoholism indicate that unaided, spontaneous recovery may be the most common pathway to remission from alcoholism. Negative environmental consequences of alcoholic drinking have been invoked to explain spontaneous recovery, but a more compelling reason for sudden changes in drinking behavior concerns shifts in the personal meanings surrounding alcohol use. Extensive interviews in a multimodal format were conducted with two groups of alcoholics: one group comprised of 7 subjects who spontaneously recovered without treatment and the other group comprised of 9 people who believed formal treatment was necessary to abstain from drinking. Spontaneously recovered alcoholics reported experiencing vivid sensations and images at the time they decided to quit drinking, and they reported subsequent transformations of their personal identities. Active alcoholics reported no comparable experiences in imaginal, sensory, and cognitive modalities. Implications of the results for current alcoholism treatments are discussed.

Abstract:
In the past 20 years special interest groups have increased efforts to de-stigmatize alcoholism through improving the image of the alcoholic and medicalizing alcoholism. Among specific initiatives is the effort to implement work-based employee assistance programs (EAPs) to identify alcoholic employees through job performance decrements and guide them to appropriate treatment resources. In this analysis, two issues are examined. First, we measure the degree to which the disease model of alcoholism is accepted among those working with alcoholics in job-based programs, those variously charged with administering EAPs. Second, we measure attitudes toward the employment of recovering alcoholics in the EAP field. Results indicate that recovery from alcoholism, the role of “co-alcoholic,” and the occupational setting of the EAP administrator each affect the attitudes regarding the disease concept of alcoholism and the appropriateness of recovering alcoholics working in the EAP field.

Abstract:
Studies of the first-degree relatives of patients with alcoholism and anxiety disorders have identified a significant overlap of these disorders. Forty percent of the patients in an outpatient anxiety disorder program were adult children of alcoholics (ACOA), a proportion similar to that found in the substance abuse program. The ACOAs in both programs were younger, had higher co-dependency scores and were younger when they had their first psychiatric contact than the controls. The adult children of alcoholics who had anxiety disorders were more likely to be female and their alcoholic parents were less likely to have had psychiatric antecedents to alcoholism. Aside from substance abuse, similarities in socio-demographic variables and the impact of the parents' alcoholism were noted, reinforcing the hypothesis that vulnerabilities to anxiety disorders and alcoholism overlap.

Abstract:
Alcohol is the United States' foremost drug of abuse. Although a significant portion of the population continues to identify alcoholism with moral weakness, society embraces treatment as the primary mode of dealing with this disease. Treatment stressing ongoing abstinence from alcohol is the most universally accepted method of therapy. Following initial intervention and referral, treatment of the alcoholic includes detoxification; intensive early treatment, using either outpatient or inpatient treatment settings; and long-term support for recovery. Aftercare programs often require continuing attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, recovery support groups, and psychotherapy. In addition, recovering individuals may receive continued health care supervision from a physician knowledgeable about alcoholism. Family therapy is stressed as a component of recovery.

Abstract:
Objective: To discuss the mechanism of action, the efficacy and the safety of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the treatment of alcoholism. Method: The published works on effective treatments for alcoholism is briefly reviewed and a prospective multidisciplinar y follow-up of recovery from alcoholism in two community cohorts of adolescent males followed from 1940 until the present day is reviewed. Conclusions: The suggested mechanism of action of AA is that it employs four factors widely shown to be effective in relapse prevention in addictions: external supervision, substitute dependency, new caring relationships and increased spirituality. In addition, AA serendipitously follows the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy in relapse prevention. Alcoholics Anonymous appears equal to or superior to conventional treatments for alcoholism, and the skepticism of some professionals regarding AA as a first rank treatment for alcoholism would appear to be unwarranted. Alcoholics Anonymous is probably without serious side-effects.

Abstract:
The effects of childhood experiences of parental violence on the development of alcoholism in women were examined by comparing a sample of 45 alcoholic women selected from local treatment agencies and Alcoholics Anonymous groups with 40 nonalcoholic women selected randomly from the population. Two-hour person-to-person interview schedules were administered to both samples. The Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) assessed both father-to-daughter and mother-to-daughter relationships. Type of sample was regressed on each CTS subscale, controlling for presence of parental alcoholism, number of childhood changes in family structure, present age of respondent, and present income source. Alcoholic women were found to have higher father-to-daughter negative verbal interaction, moderate violence, and serious violence than household women. Father-to-daughter positive verbal interaction was found unrelated to membership in the alcoholism sample. None of the mother-to-daughter subscales were found to predict membership in the alcoholism sample.

Abstract:
Selected literature is first reviewed examining the relationship between the increased use of coercion as motivation for alcoholism treatment entry and the goals of alcoholism treatment with the general conclusion reached that the increasing use of coercion is shifting the practice and ideology of alcoholism treatment. Second, criminally referred, volunteers and DWI clients in one state's publicly funded alcoholism treatment are compared on the basic precepts of the disease model of alcoholism with the general conclusion that as the operational definition of “alcoholic” has widened to include the universe of alcohol problems, there are major discrepancies between those traditionally treated for alcoholism and the newer clientele. The implications of this shift are discussed in terms of the transformation of the social function of alcoholism treatment.

Abstract:
Alkoholvården i Sverige kan vara utformad på många olika och skilda sätt. Det är ett område där det finns ett flertal olika åsikter kring vilken behandling som är lämpligast eller effektivast. Uppsatsens syfte är att titta närmare på hur diskursen kring alkoholvård kan se ut i Sverige idag genom närmare granskning av de två tidskrifterna Socionomen och Alkohol & Narkotika. Två stora tidningar inom praktiker av socialt arbete. För att uppnå syftet utgår uppsatsen från följande frågeställningar:-Vilka behandlingsmetoder för alkoholmissbruk diskuteras i tidskrifterna?-Hur problematiserar tidskrifterna kring olika behandlingsformer?-Hur lyfts för respektive nackdelar för behandlingsformerna upp?-Vad väljer tidskrifterna att lyfta fram i debatten kring alkoholvården? Som metod används kritisk diskursanalys för att synliggöra diskurserna i tidskrifterna. Analysen av tidskrifterna grundar sig på en analysmodell efter diskursanalytikern Fairclough och används främst för att synliggöra hur tidskrifterna förhåller sig till uppsatsens diskursordning. Diskursordningen som används är baserad på aktuell litteratur kring alkoholmissbruksbehandling och innefattar tre diskurser: Psykologisk, psykosocial och farmakologisk.Resultaten i uppsatsen visar att den psykosociala diskursen är dominerande i de båda tidskrifterna men att även den farmakologiska diskursen nämns. De behandlingsmetoder som tas upp är i de båda tidskrifterna kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) och motiverande samtal. Vidare visa uppsatsen att Socionomen efterfrågar en mer strukturerad, organiserad och evidensbaserad alkoholbehandling i allmänhet. Alkohol & Narkotika å andra sidan ifrågasätter den formella vårdapparaten kring alkoholmissbruk och beskriver den som otillgänglig och bristfällig. Som alternativ för att högkonsumenter av alkohol ska få tidig hjälp tar tidskriften upp olika självhjälps metoder grundade på KBT och motiverade samtal.
In Sweden, the treatment of alcoholism can be shaped in many various and separate ways. The subject of area contains various opinions regarding what treatment would be the most correct or effective. The aim in this essay is to look closer at the discourse of how the treatment of alcoholism may work in Sweden today. This will be done by closer examine the magazines, Socionomen and Alkohol & Narkotika, that are large papers within the practice of social work. To achieve the aim, this essay will start out from the following questions of issue:- What methods of treatment are discussed in the two magazines?- How do the magazines questions the various treatments? - How are the advantages and disadvantages in the different treatments highlighted?- What chooses the magazines to highlight in the debate of alcohol treatment?As the method, to make the discourses in the magazines visible, a critical analyze of discourse is being used. The analyze of the magazines is based on a model of analyzing by the discourse analyzer Fairclough, and is mainly used to make the magazines relations to the essay’s system of discourse visible. The system of discourse that is being used is based on actual literature in the area of treatment of alcohol addiction and contains three different discourses: psychological, psychosocial and pharmacological.The conclusion of this essay shows that the psychosocial discourse is the dominating discourse in both of the magazines but that the pharmacological discourse also is mentioned. The methods of treatment being raised in the magazines are cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Further more the essay shows that the paper Socionomen generally asks for a more structured, organized and evidence based treatment of alcoholism. In the other hand, the magazine Alkohol & Narkotika questions the formal care unit’s treatment of alcohol abuse and describes it as inaccessible and insufficient. As an alternative this magazine highlights the methods of self- help based on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing so that those that are high consumers of alcohol will get help at an earlier stage of their abuse.

Abstract:
This study investigated demographic and personality variables, that counselors used in the selection of alcoholics for long term treatment and compared the completion rate for this group against completion rates reported in past studies, in order to determine if certain personality variables are associated with completion. The MMPI, Survey of Drinking Patterns and Effects, and a demographic questionnaire was administered to 355 lower class and "skid row" inpatient alcoholics from a North Tucson alcoholism treatment center. Results showed that counselors selection judgements approximated the characteristics of alcoholics who had completed long term treatment programs in past studies. Completion rates for this group studied were found to be moderately high compared to past studies. It was concluded that certain biographical and psychological variables can be used as selection criteria for determining alcoholics long term treatment completion. Implications for these findings are discussed.

Abstract:
The treatment of alcoholism has had a unique historical development in the United States. This study provides a chronology of how the problem of alcoholism was defined and handled during various time periods in United States history. The process that evolved resulted in an abstinence based, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of alcoholism as a primary disease based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. This treatment modality, that developed outside of established medicine, is currently used by the majority of treatment providers. Seven individuals who have been actively involved in alcoholism treatment were interviewed. In addition to archival research, biographies and autobiographies were examined to gain a broad perspective. Because alcoholism is both a collective and an individual problem an effort was made to include a microsociological frame of reference within a broad sociological view. Alcoholism, or inebriety, was first perceived as a legal and moral problem. By the end of the 19th century, inebriety was recognized as an illness differing from mental illness, and separate asylums were established for its treatment. Alcoholism is currently accepted and treated as a primary disease by the majority of social institutions, but the legal and moral implications remain. National Prohibition in the early part of the 20th century targeted alcohol instead of the alcoholic delaying any progress toward treatment which was made in the 19th century. The advent of Alcoholics Anonymous brought the first widely accepted hope for alcoholics. The treatment process that developed utilized the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous in a setting of shared recovery which has been difficult to quantify. In 1970 the allocation of federal funds for treatment and research brought the involvement of new disciplines creating both conflicts and possibilities. Alcoholism recovery has elucidated the connection of mind, body, and spirit.

Abstract:
This is a report of an investigation assessing outcome in a consecutive series of alcohol dependent patients admitted to the Avalon Treatment Centre from 21 October 1985 to 14 April 1986. Although extensive work has been done on the epidemiology of alcoholism among "coloured" people * [classified in terms of the population registration Act]. A direct result of the original field survey by Gillis, Keet and Slabbert was the establishment of this centre. A follow up study of people identified as having drinking problems in the original field survey showed that few people stopped drinking on their own account. Little is known about treatment outcome of patients hospitalized at this centre. Treatment at The Avalon Treatment Centre is based on therapeutic community principles, group therapy, family and social case work as well as the use of antabuse. Contact with Alcoholics Anonymous is encouraged during and after hospitalisation. In addition patients are also followed up by a community sister.

Abstract:
Alcohol addiction is a serious problem that affects millions of people and costs individuals, families, and communities a lot of money. It can disrupt the brain's chemistry and cause a person to lose control of their behavior. Recent advancements have shed light on the role of several neurotransmitters in the disease of alcoholism. Various neurotransmitters have been linked to alcohol addiction because of a brain imbalance, which could be caused due to excessive activity or inhibition. The dopaminergic, serotoninergic, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamate pathways are among the brain circuits known to be altered by alcohol consumption. Importantly, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also characterized by poor impulse control. Furthermore, Methylphenidate is used to treat ADHD by regulating dopamine and other neurotransmitters, also affected by alcoholism. The purpose of this review is to look into the future use of Methylphenidate in the treatment and prevention of alcoholism. This review supports the future use of Methylphenidate in the treatment and prevention of alcoholism. However, more clinical research on the effects of Methylphenidate is required.

Abstract:
Context: Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is rare, acute, severe and non-inflammatory. It is caused by the demyelination of neurons with the preservation of axons. It is called central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) when it affects the central pontine region and extra-pontine myelinolysis (EPM) when it affects other areas. Few cases of ODS due to non-electrolytic causes are reported. Case report: 54-year-old man with a history of heavy drinking. After about 24 hours of alcohol withdrawal, he developed generalized tonic-clonic seizures, associated with a lower level of consciousness. Protective orotracheal intubation was performed and the use of anti-crisis drugs was initiated. After sedation was switched off and mechanical ventilation was set to minimum parameters, the patient remained comatose and with convergence-retraction nystagmus movements. A skull MRI was performed, which showed lesions compatible with CPM and EPM. There was no variation in the patient’s plasma sodium during hospitalization. Conclusion: this is a patient with no evidence of any significant hydro-electrolyte disturbance and who presented a compatible neurological condition and neuroimaging characteristic of CPM / EPM. There is no specific clinical treatment for this pathology. Furthermore, the patient presents with the finding of convergence-retraction nystagmus, possibly explained by atrophy of the dorsal midbrain region.

Abstract:
Introduction: The homeless population has a high prevalence of alcoholism and consumption of other drugs, which also means that they are at greater risk of developing all complications resulting from alcohol abuse. (MILER et al, 2021). The medical attention for homeless population is a device of the Unified Health System that claims social, health policies and the guarantee of fundamental rights (BRASIL, 2009). Methods: Evaluation of protocols and referral flows for the treatment of patients with ‘mental disorders and due to alcohol use’, of the medical attention for homeless population in the city of Petrópolis (Rio de Janeiro), between April / 2020 and April 2021, data from e-SUS, and literature review. Results: The city of Petrópolis (Rio de Janeiro) registered 259 people without home, 84.8% are men, all people are adults between 20-74 years old, 98% are born Brazilians, 92% reported alcohol consumption, and alcohol with other drugs 61% (cocaine, crack, marijuana, solvent, tobacco). There was 3 patients with diagnose of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome: 2 men and 1 woman (aged 60-65 years) in the period from April 2020 - April 2021 (BRAZIL, 2021 The medical attention for homeless population approach to alcoholism includes the CAGE and AUDIT tests, symptomatic treatment and brief psychological interventions. aimed at weaning, and the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Scale Revised scale to quantify the degree of abstinence. However, the majority of users do not want total cessation, generally they choose to reduce consumption (secondary prevention), and later recovery and reintegration into society, highlighting that self-help groups and social assistance have a prominent role (tertiary prevention) (MARSCHARLL; GREGANTI, 2002; LONGO, et al., 2013). Conclusion: Despite confounding / aggravating factors such as social determinants in health, and the difficulties of the health network, the medical attention for homeless population is fundamental in the secondary and tertiary prevention of neurological diseases due to chronic alcohol consumption; complex cases require complex interventions, that is, individualization, adaptation and flexibility.

Abstract:
Context: Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is characterized by cerebral vessel´s rupture, causing potentially fatal hemorrhage. Approximately 20% of HS are due to spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage, being risk factors: age over 55, systemic arterial hypertension, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and alcoholism. Case Report: Male, 84 years old, previously hypertensive, is brought by family members after being found unconscious. He was admitted to hypertensive emergency room, with irregular respiratory rate, anisochoric pupils (mydriasis on the right) non-photoreactive, Glasgow Coma Scale 3 and urinary loss. He was intubated without complications and later developed bradycardia (44 bpm), keeping hypertensive (160/90 mmHg), suggesting Cushing´s Triad (CT). Capillary bloody glucose of 98 mg/dl and laboratory tests showing: hemoglobin 9,3; platelets 184000; negative troponin; urea 52; creatinine 1.7; sodium 136; potassium 3.9. Due to the abrupt installation in a previously hypertensive patient, with unilateral mydriasis on physical examination and the development of CT, the diagnostic hypothesis were HS associated with intracranial hypertension. A skull´s scancomputed tomography or lumbar puncture were not requested because were unavailable at hospital. Patient was removed to a specialized servisse, 12 hours after arrival. Conclusion: Mortality after stroke is known to be substantially lower when patients are treated in high-volume regional centers and have access to qualified interventionists who specialize in neuro-intensive treatment. As it is a servisse without resources for definitive treatment, the patient was stabilized in the best way within the hospital condition, with priority being the removal of the patient as soon as possible, in order to reduce morbidity and mortality

Abstract:
Introduction: Cerebral collateral circulation has become increasingly important in recent years. It is a physiological vascular protection circuit, designed to preserve cerebral irrigation in a failure context of the primary pathways. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive and analytical study aims to analyze the predictive factors for the collateral circulation presence in patients with acute ischemic stroke, seen in the emergency room of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital in São Paulo, with large vessels occlusion on angiotomography. Results: 21 patients were analysed between january 2018 and april 2020, 10 men and 11 women, with a median age of 71 years. The median NIHSS score was 16 and intravenous thrombolysis was performed in 71.4% of the patients. We identified the presence of hyperglycemia, cervical obstruction and female gender as factors independently associated with an unsatisfactory leptomeningeal collateral state. Systemic arterial hypertension, smoking, alcoholism and a history of stroke had no association with poor collateral status, as well as the previous use of sinvastatin does not improve the combined score. Conclusion: Knowing the risk factors and comorbidities associated with the rarefaction of cerebral collateral circulation is of great importance in assessing the ischemic stroke acute phase, contributing to improvement in treatment and primary and secondary prevention.

Abstract:
In order to test the effect of adding an alcoholic and aqueous extract of turmeric as natural antioxidants that improve sensory qualities and prolong the shelf life of processed cheese, the current study was conducted and represented by the manufacture of four different treatments of cheese, in which alcoholic and aqueous extract was added at a concentration of 10 mg/100gm cheese represented by treatments T1 and T2 respectively. In addition to the treatment of processed cheese, which Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) was added at concentration of 100 ppm represented by T3 treatment, in addition to the control treatment in which the processed cheese was made without any additional treatment (C). The results of the sensory evaluation of the different cheese treatments that were conducted immediately after processing showed that there were no significant differences in the color, texture, bitterness, taste and flavor between the cheese of the control treatment (C) and the cheese of the different treatments, where the cheese of all treatments was sensory acceptable to the consumer. On the other hand, during storage period, treatment T1 and T2 was significantly outperformed over T3 and C treatment in all abovementioned sensory characteristics, and stay more acceptable in all periods of storage. The lipid oxidation which expressed as peroxide number (POV) and the rancidity which expressed as acid degree value (ADV) during cheese storage at 5ºC1± was at least in cheese of treatment T1 followed by treatment T2 and above in processed cheese of control treatment. Alcoholic and aqueous extract of Curcumin showed higher antibacterial activity against, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains

Abstract:
Introduction: Brain Cranium Trauma (TBI) is defined as any traumatic injury that causes an anatomical lesion or functional impairment of the scalp, skull, meninges, brain or its vessels. In the set of injuries from external causes, the TBI stands out in terms of magnitude and, above all, as a cause of death and disability. Objectives: Demonstrate basic and current concepts in relation to the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of TBI. Methods: The present work is a narrative review of the literature in the PubMed, SciELO and CNBI databases. As search criteria, the following keywords were used: “traumatic brain injury”; “Semiology”; “Neurology” and articles, which were limited to a specific period of 5 years. Exclusion: case reports and inclusion: 12 articles. Results: The main causes of TBI are car accidents, falls, being run over, aggression and sports activities. It was observed that most victims of TBI have subgaleal hematoma (HS), followed by fractures. In mild and moderate TBI, the appearance of HS is more prevalent, 48.5%. In TBI, severe, the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage predominates with 71.1% of cases in the first study and 62.5% in the second. Conclusion: The main group affected by TCE are mostly male and young, this predominance is related to the increase in violence with firearms, alcoholism and high speeds in traffic. The elderly group is at risk due to their susceptibility to falls. Children are also prone due to lack of motor coordination, resulting in acidentes.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different anti-diabetic drugs in the treatment of non-diabetic non-alcoholic disease by network meta-analysis, and find the best intervention. Condition being studied: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the disease in which the liver fat content exceeds 5%, and excludes the secondary causes of alcohol, infection, drugs or other specific metabolic diseases. As a spectrum of disorders, it includes hepatocyte steatosis and steatohepatitis at the initial stage, liver fibrosis at the later stage, cirrhosis at the final stage, and even liver cancer. Nowadays Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease in the world with an incidence rate as high as 25% which has been rising steadily worldwide in the past 30 years. Currently there are still no approved specific therapeutic agents and global treatment guidelines for NAFLD. For non-diabetic NAFLD, there is far from a consensus, too.

Abstract:
In the structure of acute poisonings, ethanol poisoning currently accounts, according to various sources, from 10 to 20%. The mortality rate in poison control centers for ethanol poisoning is 1-2%, but the mortality rate is much higher due to those who died before medical care was provided. The widespread use of methanol and ethylene glycol in various industries and the high mortality rate with late recognition of poisoning with these alcohols determine the high relevance of a detailed study of the clinic, diagnosis and treatment of these poisonings by doctors of various specialties. In particular, toxicologists from health care institutions, anesthesiologists and resuscitators from health care institutions, doctors from specialized emergency medical services teams, and disaster medicine doctors. Competent and timely diagnosis, hospitalization in a specialized hospital and previously started treatment greatly increases the patient’s chances of life and its further quality. This electronic educational resourse consists of six theoretical educational modules: general issues of clinical toxicology, acute poisoning with veratrine, acute poisoning with ethanol, poisoning with methanol, poisoning with ethylene glycol, acute poisoning with other alcohols. The theoretical block of modules is presented by presentations, the text of lectures with illustrations. Control classes in the form of test control accompany each theoretical module. After studying all modules, the student passes the final test control. Mastering the electronic educational resourse will ensure a high level of readiness to provide specialized toxicological care by doctors of various specialties.

The article is devoted to the study of the psychological characteristics of the behavior of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The manifestations of NAFLD are a powerful frustrating factor for patients, negatively affect the quality of life, hinder psychosocial adaptation and serve as the basis for the formation of chronic stress from the disease, which blocks the actual needs of the individual. Psychological factors are an important component in the clinical assessment of patients in connection with the individualization of the treatment process and secondary psychoprophylaxis, including methods of somato-centered and personality-centered psychotherapy.

Abstract:
Purpose/Background Overdose deaths in the U.S. from opioids have dramatically increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. Although medicated-assisted treatment (MAT) programs are widely available for sufferers of opiate addiction, many drop out of treatment prematurely. Twelve-step programs are considered a valuable part of treatment, but few studies have examined the effect of combining these approaches. We aimed to compare abstinence rates among patients receiving MAT who were referred to 12-step programs to those only receiving MAT. Methods In this prospective study, a cohort of participants from a MAT clinic agreeing to attend a 12-step program was compared to 15 controls selected from a database before project implementation. Eligible participants were diagnosed with OUD, receiving buprenorphine (opiate agonist), and at least 18. Participants were provided with temporary sponsors to attend Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, and Medication-Assisted Recovery meetings together. The primary endpoint was the change in positive opiate urine drug screens over 6 months between participants and controls. Results Between March 29, 2021, and April 16, 2021, 166 patients were scheduled at the clinic. Of those scheduled, 146 were established patients, and 123 were scheduled for face-to-face visits. Of these, 64 appeared for the appointment, 6 were screened, and 3 were enrolled. None of the participants attended a 12-step meeting. Enrollment barriers included excluding new patients and those attending virtual visits, the high percentage of patients who missed appointments, and lack of staff referrals. The low incidence of referrals was due to time constraints by both staff and patients. Implications for Nursing Practice Low enrollment limited our ability to determine whether combining medication management with a 12-step program improves abstinence. Failure to keep appointments is common among patients with OUD, and virtual meetings are becoming more prevalent post-COVID. Although these factors are unlikely to be controllable, developing strategies to expedite the enrollment process for staff and patients could hasten recruitment.
