In the latter half of 2021, the Support, Treatment, and Overdose Prevention (STOP) of Synthetic Opioids Act was introduced by Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), in an effort to stop synthetic opioids overdose deaths. The goal is to expand access to synthetic opioid treatment, bolster overdose prevention and help improve the monitoring, education, and surveillance of public health offices.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)  reported that over 93,000 people died of an overdose in 2020. In recent years, synthetic opioids have become the leading cause of overdose and drug-related deaths in the U.S. Addiction treatment facilities and substance use recovery professionals are scrambling to address the synthetic opioid crisis in an effort to cope with the growing dilemma.

Addiction treatment centers and substance use recovery therapists are faced with a historic challenge when it comes to dealing with the growing prevalence of synthetic opioid addiction. Using practice management software can helps free up the time of clinical therapists so they can better address the problems of their patients. With innovative practice management, billing solutions, and data, a treatment clinic can better ensure improved clinical and financial outcomes.

With government offices and policies focusing on addressing the synthetic opioid crisis in America, more funds will eventually become allocated to treatment clinics and practices by government agencies. The goal is to treat synthetic opioid addiction and prevent unnecessary overdose deaths.

Therapy Brands mental health EHR software helps to streamline any practice with user-friendly integrated features. The impressive EMR combined with clinical tools, bed management, e-prescribing, and MAT capabilities ultimately help free up the valuable time of your addiction clinic’s staff so everyone can focus on assisting patients.
