USA. State Toolkit to End the Nation’s Drug Overdose Epidemic: Leading-Edge Actions and Strategies to Remove Barriers to Evidence-based Patient Care

The 2022 AMA-Manatt Toolkit builds on the 2020 roadmap by providing actionable resources that states can use to take specific actions in six policy areas: 

  • Increase access to evidence- based treatments to help patients with a substance use disorder (SUD). 
  • Ensure access to addiction medicine, psychiatry, and other trained physicians. 
  • Enforce mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) parity laws. 
  • Improve access to multidisciplinary, multimodal care for patients with pain. 
  • Expand harm reduction efforts to reduce death and disease. 
  • Improve monitoring and evaluation.
